Kipu Quantum

Kipu Quantum GmbH is a Berlin-based deep-tech company building application-specific, hardware-efficient quantum algorithms and delivering them as a managed cloud platform. Its flagship product, the Kipu Quantum Hub (hub.kipu-quantum.com), is an end-to-end platform for industrial quantum computing: it provides unified access to 20+ quantum backends (IBM Quantum, IonQ, IQM, QuEra, Rigetti, Pasqal, Azure Quantum), a visual workflow designer for quantum-classical pipelines, an AI "matchmaker" (Tinkuq) that translates a business problem into a solver configuration, and a Quantum Service Store of pre-built solvers (Miray, Rimay, Iskay, HUK) targeting optimization, portfolio mix, network routing, and classification. Developers automate runs and integrate via a Python SDK, REST API, and CLI, authenticating with API keys and OAuth2/OIDC (Keycloak, PlanQK realm). Founded and led by Prof. Dr. Enrique Solano and Dr. Tobias Grab. Backed by HV Capital and surfaced into the API Evangelist network via VC-portfolio enrichment.

Kipu Quantum publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Deep Tech, Quantum Computing, Quantum, and Artificial Intelligence.

Kipu Quantum’s developer surface includes documentation, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, authentication, and 11 more developer resources.
