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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kipu-quantum: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
