Kipu Quantum, the leader in quantum software specializing in hardware- and application-specific solutions, and its PlanQK platform, have announced an enhanced collaboration with QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing. This partnership aims to deliver industrially relevant quantum solutions by providing PlanQK users with immediate access to QuEra’s Aquila 256-qubit quantum processors, enabling seamless quantum computing experiences powered by neutral-atom technology.

Kipu Quantum, the worldwide leading quantum software company, announced today the strategic acquisition of PlanQK, the German quantum computing platform successfully built and commercialized by Anaqor AG.

Kipu Quantum, a leader in application and hardware-specific quantum computing solutions, announces that its Iskay Quantum Optimizer, a function available on Kipu’s PLANQK platform, is now available for use through IBM’s Qiskit Functions Catalog.

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), through its Center for Quantum and Topological Systems (CQTS), has taken a significant step in advancing quantum computing research by becoming the first institution in the Middle East to join Kipu’s Quantum Pioneer Program. Through this collaboration, NYUAD gains access to PLANQK, the leading platform designed to facilitate quantum research and development by providing seamless integration with quantum computing tools, hardware resources, and the latest services offered by Kipu Quantum based on novel application- and hardware-specific algorithms. The powerhouse behind this partnership is the QInnovision Consortium—a groundbreaking initiative by the Vernewell Group that proudly counts CQTS among its founding members.

The Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Dr. Franziska Brantner, visited the world-leading quantum software startup Kipu Quantum. The visit facilitated an intensive exchange on the economic policy framework for quantum computing in Germany.
