1QBit

1QB Information Technologies Inc. (1QBit) is a quantum computing software company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It builds hardware-agnostic algorithms and software for optimization, simulation, and machine learning that run across quantum, quantum-inspired, and classical high-performance computing hardware, with work spanning computational finance, life sciences and quantum chemistry, materials, and telecommunications. 1QBit has hardware and platform partnerships with D-Wave, Fujitsu, IBM, and Microsoft Azure Quantum, and participates in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) on automated design tools for utility-scale quantum computation. The company markets a 1Qloud optimization platform whose own marketing page cites Python SDK, gRPC, and REST API interfaces, but as of August 2026 1QBit publishes no public developer portal, API reference, or machine-readable API contract — the former portal.1qbit.com host no longer resolves and access is arranged through industry partnerships. Its only public developer surface is a small GitHub organization of research code plus two first-party Python libraries on PyPI.

1QBit is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Quantum Computing, Optimization, Machine Learning, and Simulation.

1QBit’s developer surface includes product news, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 16 more developer resources.
