Quandela

aid: quandela
name: Quandela
description: 'Quandela is a Paris-region (Massy, France) photonic quantum computing company building modular, scalable, energy-efficient
  quantum systems driven by deterministic single-photon sources. Its hardware lineup includes Ascella (its first cloud-accessible
  system), Belenos (a 12-qubit second-generation machine), Canopus, and Mosaiq (its flagship prototyping platform), alongside
  Prometheus single-photon sources and the Entropy quantum random number generator. Quandela develops Perceval, the open-source
  Python framework for programming photonic quantum computers, distributed on PyPI as perceval-quandela with the perceval-interop
  bridges to Qiskit, QuTiP, cQASM and myQLM and the exqalibur native optimisation kernel. It operates Quandela Cloud, which
  — contrary to an earlier reading of this profile — DOES publish a real, anonymously readable REST contract: OpenAPI 3.0.3
  at https://api.cloud.quandela.com/openapi.json, version v2.8.0-rc4, with 55 paths, 59 operations and 54 component schemas,
  plus a Quantum Toolbox sub-specification at /qt-openapi.json. The surface covers Perceval job submission (submit-then-poll,
  with the circuit carried as an SDK-serialised opaque payload), a self-service Cloud Job Token lifecycle with a per-platform
  credit ledger, five typed Quantum Toolbox primitives (Chemistry VQE, Custom VQE, CVaR VQE, Graph DSI, Graph Isomorphism)
  each with a paired cost estimator, and the Entropy QRNG, whose draws return CHSH and min-entropy certification. Authentication
  is a single declared bearer scheme covering two distinct credentials — an account token from account.quandela.com and a
  Cloud Job Token minted over the API. Quandela also runs a Quantum Acceleration Program for enterprise pilots in cybersecurity,
  pharma, chemistry, logistics, finance, energy and aerospace, and publishes a 2024-2030 roadmap to fault-tolerant quantum
  computing.'

  note: The contract is public and anonymous and a free trial is offered ("Try cloud for free"), but no price is published
    — the pricing page is a JS-rendered shell and every machine-readable pricing endpoint probed 404s. Billing is prepaid
    credits metered per platform. See plans/quandela-plans-pricing.yml.

x-pointers-deliberately-withheld:
  note: Recorded so a later run does not "fix" these as omissions. Each artifact below EXISTS in this repository and documents
    an ABSENCE; emitting its canonical scored pointer would assert that Quandela serves a surface it does not serve.
  withheld:
  - type: WellKnown
    artifact: well-known/quandela-well-known.yml
    reason: Every /.well-known/ path 404s on the three real hosts. The three 200s recorded are SPA catch-all HTML shells,
      not documents. The probe is kept as data under the non-scored type WellKnownProbe.
  - type: SecurityTxt
    artifact: well-known/quandela-well-known.yml
    reason: /.well-known/security.txt returns 404 everywhere.
  - type: MCPServer
    artifact: mcp/quandela-mcp.yml
    reason: No MCP server exists — /mcp 404s, mcp.quandela.com does not resolve, npm has no Quandela package. The file is
      a DERIVED candidate tool list with deployment.mode = none, kept under the non-scored type MCPCandidate.
  - type: AgentCard
    artifact: null
    reason: No agent card. /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json 404 on every real host. Nothing was written
      — this artifact is never authored on a provider's behalf.
  - type: Idempotency
    artifact: conventions/quandela-conventions.yml
    reason: Zero occurrences of "idempoten" across the 59-operation contract. process_id on POST /api/jobs is a uniqueness
      guard that 400s on collision, not idempotent replay.
  - type: Deprecation
    artifact: lifecycle/quandela-lifecycle.yml
    reason: 10 operations carry deprecated:true in the spec, but there is no deprecation-policy page, no sunset date and no
      RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation header.
  - type: Compliance
    artifact: conformance/quandela-conformance.yml
    reason: No certification or compliance program is published — no trust centre and no named certification anywhere on the
      public surface.
  - type: Security
    artifact: null
    reason: No vulnerability disclosure policy, no security.txt, no bug bounty. probe-security-programs.py returned vdp=none
      trust=none.
  - type: AsyncAPI
    artifact: null
    reason: No event surface at all. /asyncapi.yaml, /asyncapi.json, /events and /webhooks all 404 on the API host; the API
      is submit-then-poll.
  - type: Webhooks
    artifact: null
    reason: No callback or webhook operation in the contract.
  - type: APIReference
    artifact: null
    reason: https://api.cloud.quandela.com/api/docs/ 302-redirects to account.quandela.com/login — the rendered reference
      is behind authentication, so it is not a publicly readable API reference. The OpenAPI at /openapi.json is public and
      is wired as OpenAPI instead.
  - type: CLI
    artifact: null
    reason: Quandela ships no first-party CLI.
  - type: Components
    artifact: null
    reason: Quandela ships no embeddable UI components.
  - type: OAuthScopes
    artifact: null
    reason: No oauth2 securityScheme and no scopes model — a Cloud Job Token is all-or-nothing within its commercial offer.
  - type: Postman
    artifact: null
    reason: No first-party public collection. The only Postman search hit for "quandela" is an unrelated third-party workspace
      ("candela_2025").
  - type: Protobuf
    artifact: null
    reason: No .proto in the 15-repo github.com/Quandela org. QDMI-Perceval implements the C++ Quantum Device Management Interface,
      a native C ABI.
