Strangeworks is an Austin, Texas based optimization and quantum computing company founded in 2018 by whurley (William Hurley). It operates a "heterogeneous hybrid compute" platform that gives enterprises and governments managed access to quantum processors, quantum-inspired annealers and classical optimization solvers from a single API and Python SDK, alongside its Compute, Workflows, Decisions and HybridSolver products and an expert services practice. The platform is organized around workspaces, products, resources, jobs and backends, and is programmable through three public GraphQL endpoints (sdk, platform, products) at api.strangeworks.com plus a REST proxy that forwards calls to an activated resource. Compute partners reachable through the platform include IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket, Azure Quantum, IonQ, Rigetti, Quantinuum, QuEra, IQM, AQT, Pasqal, D-Wave, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC, Gurobi, JIJ, LightSolver and Quantagonia (acquired 2025).
