Kipu Quantum is a German quantum computing startup that develops application- and hardware-specific quantum algorithms packaged into software products for tackling real-world business problems.

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.

Pharma, MedTech and LifeScience at Quantum Synergies in Basel!

Our Kipu Quantum team had the pleasure of attending the Quantum Synergies event, hosted by our friends from uptownBasel, QAI Ventures, QuantumBasel, and Roche.

It was fantastic to connect with key players in the #lifescience industry, including Merck Gruppe , Novartis, Boehringer Ingelheim and Roche, and to catch up on their latest developments and research in quantum and AI.
The insightful talks by Michael Streif and Thomas Ehmer emphasized the need for novel algorithms to push quantum computing towards practical applications, reducing time-to-solution and achieving better results. This is precisely what we at Kipu are focusing on, and we look forward to exploring new use cases with our compression techniques.

Kudos to QuantumBasel and QAIventures for creating such a dynamic quantum ecosystem. Your dedication to accelerating global quantum technologies is truly impressive. Proud to be part of this ecosystem!

Lastly, we keep our fingers crossed for the successful establishment of IonQ quantum systems at uptownBasel soon.

Dear IBM friends, thank you for hosting our Kipu Quantum team yesterday at the Quantum Industry Exchange 3.0

It was a pleasure to talk with your IBM team, partners, and customers. Great seeing how IBM is pushing for quantum utility and Kipu Quantum for quantum advantage, while building a strong network of partners to tackle industry challenges.

We are excited to see more and more industries diving into the quantum world, not for the promised future but for the present usefulness level.

Looking forward to working with IBM on our Kipu Quantum computing solutions to solve real industry problems together!

Learn more about our digital compression techniques, which have enabled us to set a new record in quantum optimization with up to 100 qubits implemented on IBM systems.

We will continue with our smart encoding in hardware of industry use cases to offer more and better, stay tuned.

Final of the Airbus-BMW Group Quantum Computing Challenge (ABQCC)

Out of 420 teams, we are proud to be one of the 15 finalists chosen to work on one of four innovative use cases formulated by experts from Airbus and BMW Group, in collaboration with the Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab. 

This challenge is a unique opportunity for collaboration between industry and academia, aiming to address real-world industry problems using cutting-edge quantum computing technology.

Our Kipu team is excited to contribute with our proposal for Quantum-Enhanced Autonomy. With our quantum computing expertise, we are highly motivated and have already begun the second phase of the challenge alongside experts from QuanIT and DXC Technology.

Stay tuned and follow The Quantum Insider, the host of the challenge, for more detailed updates.

We just wrapped up an incredible full-staff meeting over two dynamic days in #Berlin! This gathering was all about growth, agile work, and strengthening our bonds as a team.

During the first day, we dived into an intensive workshop on the agile work system. With expert facilitators guiding us, we explored new ways to enhance our workflow, foster innovation, and adapt to changing demands in the quantum computing environment. We collaborated, brainstormed, and strategized on how to implement agile practices effectively.

On the second day, our focus shifted to team building. Through a series of engaging activities on Müggelsee, we strengthened our communication, trust, and collaboration. It was inspiring to see the unique ideas and talents of our team members come together, even creating swimming rafts together.

We are not just a team but a group of talents, each bringing unique skills and perspectives that drive our success. "Kipu is here to invent things today that will bring to our present the holy grail of quantum advantage for industry use cases” said Enrique Solano during his welcome speech. 
With our unique team, there are no limits to what we can achieve. 🚀 

A big thank you to our amazing HR and operations team for preparing and organizing this full-staff meeting.

Workshop with DLR Team in Ulm 

We are happy to announce continuous progress on the #BASIQproject, where we actively contribute by developing novel quantum algorithms for battery materials simulations.

Our esteemed Archismita Dalal, PhD, led a workshop with the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. team around Birger Horstmann, introducing Kipu Quantum's digital compression technologies and quantum algorithms for solving efficiently electronic structure problems on quantum computers. A big thank you to the DLR team, especially Juliane Heitkämper, Elias Walter, Maria Fernanda Juarez, and Lorenz Omran for invaluable feedback and discussions. We look forward to continuing the fruitful collaboration enabling large scaled quantum chemistry simulations on quantum computers.

We are incredibly proud of our team, who tirelessly works to deliver the best application- and hardware-specific quantum computing solutions to our project partners and customers.

New crew member @ Kipu Quantum Spaceship: Welcome Valentin Kasper!

We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of our Development Team, Valentin Kasper, who joins us as a Quantum Algorithm Engineer! 🧑‍🔬✨
Valentin brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in quantum computing, with a strong background in theoretical design of artificial systems for quantum computing, numerical simulation of quantum many-body systems and quantum simulations! His expertise will be instrumental in driving forward our mission to revolutionize the future of computing through quantum technology. He supports our team from beautiful Spain, adding a rich international perspective to our work!
Valentin Kasper’s academic journey began at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and continued at the University of Heidelberg, where he earned his Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Juergen Berges. He was a post-doctoral researcher at Harvard University, collaborating with Eugene Demler  in the condensed matter theory group. Following his time in the US, he ventured to Spain, joining the  ICFO in Barcelona, working alongside Maciej Lewenstein. There, he started as a Marie-Sklodowska-Curie fellow and later assumed the role of a La Caixa Junior Group leader. His work spans quantum optics, quantum many-body physics, and quantum computation.

Excited about startups and thrilled about using quantum physics to solve the most challenging problems, he joined the Kipu Spaceship in April. When he is not thinking about quantum physics - which never happens - he loves to hike, run, and climb. And if he cannot be outside, he loves to read a book with a cup of hot chocolate – yummy!

We are confident that Valentin’s contributions will significantly advance our capabilities and help us achieve our ambitious goals. Please join us in welcoming him to our team! 🎉


Sounds amazing? It is!
Join one of the hottest start-ups in Quantum Computing, shape the future of technology and get in touch with our fast growing, open, transparent, and caring company culture!  https://lnkd.in/eQRJ-HmP
