Kipu Quantum is a German quantum computing startup based in Karlsruhe and Berlin. We design quantum computing platforms that meet customer needs by solving real-world problems for a variety of business domains. Kipu operates at the nexus of customer use cases, hardware platforms, and the software layer.
The implementations of our quantum algorithms are based on unique technological paradigms which encompass hardware-software co-designs. These solutions enable our clients to derive value from quantum computing years ahead of other approaches, i.e. not just in the distant future.
