Quandela

Quandela is a Paris-region (Massy, France) photonic quantum computing company building modular, scalable, and energy-efficient quantum systems driven by deterministic single-photon sources. Its hardware lineup includes Ascella (its first deployed cloud-accessible system), Belenos (a 12-qubit second-generation machine), Canopus (its latest state-of-the-art system), and Mosaiq (its flagship prototyping platform), alongside Prometheus single-photon sources and the Entropy quantum random number generator. Quandela develops Perceval, an open-source Python framework for programming photonic quantum computers, distributed via PyPI as perceval-quandela, and operates a cloud platform at cloud.quandela.com where users authenticate with a token and submit jobs to simulators and QPUs (e.g. "sim:altair", "qpu:altair") through Perceval's RemoteProcessor. The company also runs a Quantum Acceleration Program for enterprise pilots in cybersecurity, pharma, chemistry, logistics, finance, energy, and aerospace. There is no public REST/HTTP OpenAPI specification — the cloud surface is abstracted entirely behind the Perceval Python SDK and its companion perceval-interop bridges to Qiskit, QuTiP, cQASM, and myQLM.

Quandela is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Quantum Computing, Photonic Quantum, Photonics, Single Photon Sources, and Quantum Hardware.

Quandela’s developer surface includes documentation, GitHub presence, training material, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 20 more developer resources.
