Kipu Quantum Business and Technical Certifications
Get your organization quantum-ready, trained by the team running industrial-scale workloads on today’s hardware.
Clients and board ask you about quantum
And the questions are getting specific. Which of our problems does it fit? Can you show us how? What can we make of it beyond the hype, should we invest? You have an idea about the theory, but that is not the same as having a filter for where quantum applies. The academy is built to increase confidence by doing it yourself.
Now imagine you could verify your instinct
Currently, only a handful of people are proficient in practical quantum computing. Hands-on training can (in)form your judgement. Hardware roadmaps converge around 2029 for next-gen systems, where many current technologies merge. If you build the muscle memory now, you know what to look for in fault tolerance, too.

Quantum applications and why they are interesting to begin with
Interactive portfolio optimizer. Move the risk-tolerance slider to select the best five-of-ten portfolio; the highlighted point walks the efficient frontier across every feasible portfolio.
Implied risk-aversion λ ≈ 0.93
Drag the slider: the optimizer re-picks the best five-asset portfolio for each risk appetite, tracing the efficient frontier. The tutorials below build and run this same optimization, from a few lines of code to the S&P 500.
Your First Entangled Circuit
Go from two independent random bits to one entangled pair on the free Kipu simulator, then map the stack it runs on.
Beginner · ~75 minStart tutorialQuantum Portfolio Optimization
Build a cardinality-constrained portfolio with a real three-body risk term, and run it. Part 1 of 2.
Intermediate · ~20 minStart tutorialScaling to the S&P 500
Decompose the same kernel past the simulator's qubit limit, the pipeline Kipu and IonQ used for 250 names. Part 2 of 2.
Advanced · ~25 minStart tutorial
On the Hub: IBM Quantum, IonQ, QuEra, IQM, Pasqal, Rigetti, Quandela QPUs, plus NVIDIA-accelerated, AWS and Azure simulators.
We are day-one, quantum power-users. Quantum is a topic close to our heart, and we want to show by example that industry users can derive value from quantum-centric applications.
“Our roadmap ahead is clear. I’m really, really excited and I really think you should be too.”
Jay Gambetta, IBM. Kipu Quantum was highlighted running industrial-scale problems on IBM Quantum Heron.
World’s first large-scale portfolio optimization on real S&P 500 data, with Kipu Quantum.
Cited by IonQ leadership as production-environment proof of systematic improvement in portfolio quality and execution time.

Is the Academy self-paced?
Yes. The course is online and free, and live sessions are recorded so you work through lectures and labs on your own schedule. The Business Track builds the foundation; the Technical Track puts it into practice with hands-on labs.
Live or asynchronous?
Lectures are live and recorded, so you can revisit them anytime. Labs are asynchronous Jupyter Notebook assignments, with a live check-in each cycle for questions and progress review.
How much time does it take?
None beyond the stated hours. Business Track is 10h of live sessions; Technical Track is 15h plus a final application project. Templates and a guided recipe mean no prior quantum background is needed. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes each.
Do I run on real quantum hardware?
Labs run on simulators, sufficient for both tracks. Hardware credits can be purchased on demand through the Kipu Quantum Hub across 6 QPU vendors.
How does certification work?
The coursework is free. The certificate program is selective and graded: Business requires delivering a short quantum-centric pitch, Technical requires completing the lab assignments and presenting a working application. It is included for Team plan and higher on the Kipu Quantum Hub. It is permanent, and both tracks award Level 1 of 3 in the Kipu Academy pathway.
When can I start?
Anytime. The course is online and free to take at your own pace. Book a fit call and we will get you started.
