computing

German quantum-software / middleware company specialising in application- and hardware-specific quantum algorithms, with a flagship Rimay quantum-machine-learning product suite (Rimay GA February 2026) and the Kipu Quantum Hub platform connecting customers to multi-vendor backend QPU access. Co-founded by Enrique Solano (CEO) in Karlsruhe, with offices in Berlin (Germany) and Bilbao (Spain; Kipu Quantum Bizkaia S.L.). Develops a 'compression technology' algorithmic-stack targeting industry-relevant problems at the 100-1,000 physical-qubit scale and pioneered 'Agentic Quantum Computing' framing combining QML with autonomous agents. Hardware-validated on IBM Quantum processors (Heron r2 156-qubit cited 2026-05-20 product announcement). Created on 2026-05-21 event-driven trigger from the 2026-05-20 Rimay offline-inference framework launch; first prior public reference in tracked corpus was the 2024 NTT DATA Latin America partnership and the 2024 QuEra PlanQK collaboration (both pre-system-inception). Hardware-stack-agnostic software vendor; primary_modality therefore not_applicable.
