Quandela
Quandela is a Paris-region (Massy, France) photonic quantum computing company building modular, scalable, and energy-efficient quantum systems driven by deterministic single-photon sources. Its hardware lineup includes Ascella (its first deployed cloud-accessible system), Belenos (a 12-qubit second-generation machine), Canopus (its latest state-of-the-art system), and Mosaiq (its flagship prototyping platform), alongside Prometheus single-photon sources and the Entropy quantum random number generator. Quandela develops Perceval, an open-source Python framework for programming photonic quantum computers, distributed via PyPI as perceval-quandela, and operates a cloud platform at cloud.quandela.com where users authenticate with a token and submit jobs to simulators and QPUs (e.g. "sim:altair", "qpu:altair") through Perceval's RemoteProcessor. The company also runs a Quantum Acceleration Program for enterprise pilots in cybersecurity, pharma, chemistry, logistics, finance, energy, and aerospace. There is no public REST/HTTP OpenAPI specification — the cloud surface is abstracted entirely behind the Perceval Python SDK and its companion perceval-interop bridges to Qiskit, QuTiP, cQASM, and myQLM.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Quandela 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 — Quandela scores 11.8/100 (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 Quandela
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Quandela. 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.
