About Kipu Quantum
Kipu Quantum is a German quantum computing startup based in Karlsruhe and Berlin. We meet customer needs by tackling real-world problems for a variety of business domains. What makes Kipu unique is our focus on application- and hardware-specific quantum algorithms that are packaged into software products. Kipu operates at the nexus of customer use cases, hardware platforms, and the software layer - because quantum computers are still more than 10 years away from solving meaningful problems with standard approaches. We intend to drastically reduce the time to useful quantum computing - our solutions enable customers to derive value from quantum computing years ahead of other approaches, i.e. not just in the distant future.
