Kipu Quantum

Kipu Quantum GmbH is a Berlin-based deep-tech company building application-specific, hardware-efficient quantum algorithms and delivering them as a managed cloud platform. Its flagship product, the Kipu Quantum Hub (hub.kipu-quantum.com), is an end-to-end platform for industrial quantum computing: it provides unified access to 20+ quantum backends (IBM Quantum, IonQ, IQM, QuEra, Rigetti, Pasqal, Azure Quantum), a visual workflow designer for quantum-classical pipelines, an AI "matchmaker" (Tinkuq) that translates a business problem into a solver configuration, and a Quantum Service Store of pre-built solvers (Miray, Rimay, Iskay, HUK) targeting optimization, portfolio mix, network routing, and classification. Developers automate runs and integrate via a Python SDK, REST API, and CLI, authenticating with API keys and OAuth2/OIDC (Keycloak, PlanQK realm). Founded and led by Prof. Dr. Enrique Solano and Dr. Tobias Grab. Backed by HV Capital and surfaced into the API Evangelist network via VC-portfolio enrichment.

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Kipu Quantum the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Kipu Quantum scores 21.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (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 Kipu Quantum

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kipu Quantum. 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.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Security Posture 2

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.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
