1QBit

1QB Information Technologies Inc. (1QBit) is a quantum computing software company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It builds hardware-agnostic algorithms and software for optimization, simulation, and machine learning that run across quantum, quantum-inspired, and classical high-performance computing hardware, with work spanning computational finance, life sciences and quantum chemistry, materials, and telecommunications. 1QBit has hardware and platform partnerships with D-Wave, Fujitsu, IBM, and Microsoft Azure Quantum, and participates in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) on automated design tools for utility-scale quantum computation. The company markets a 1Qloud optimization platform whose own marketing page cites Python SDK, gRPC, and REST API interfaces, but as of August 2026 1QBit publishes no public developer portal, API reference, or machine-readable API contract — the former portal.1qbit.com host no longer resolves and access is arranged through industry partnerships. Its only public developer surface is a small GitHub organization of research code plus two first-party Python libraries on PyPI.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles 1QBit the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — 1QBit scores 11.1/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile 1QBit

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for 1QBit. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of 1QBit, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
