PRESS RELEASE — Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has joined the Open Quantum Institute (OQI), a multilateral initiative hosted at CERN, that promotes global, inclusive, and responsible access to quantum computing. Through this partnership, Qilimanjaro will provide cloud access to its multimodal quantum platform and support OQI’s outreach, education, and public-benefit efforts.
Qilimanjaro’s participation reinforces its roadmap of democratizing early quantum access through Quantum-as-a-Service and on-premise deployments, empowering users to co-design the next generation of quantum applications.
“We are committed to making quantum technologies accessible, responsible, and impactful,” said Eva Martín, Head of Innovation, “Our multimodal analog–digital approach offers a practical path toward meaningful applications, and we’re proud to support the OQI’s global mission.”
The OQI’s mission is built around four pillars known as the “4 A’s”:
- Accelerating Applications for Humanity – advancing quantum use cases aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Access for All – offering global and equitable cloud access to quantum computers
- Advancing Capacity Building – creating educational resources to enable worldwide participation
- Activating Multilateral Governance – providing a neutral forum for international dialogue on responsible quantum development
Qilimanjaro contributes to “Access for All” by providing access to its multimodal analog–digital quantum computing platform to help democratize quantum technologies, by providing access to SpeQtrum Qilimanjaro’s Quantum-as-a-Service platform. The platform provides remote access to the company’s on-premise multimodal quantum data center, bringing together in-house fluxonium superconducting chips for analog quantum computation, commercial digital QPUs, and classical HPC resources within a unified environment.
Analog quantum computers encode complex problems naturally within the system, resulting in more stable qubits and fewer errors at the circuit level. This bypasses the error correction required by the more common digital systems which use programmable qubits and quantum gates. By combining analog, digital and classical supercomputers, Qilimanjaro’s platform is designed to maximize the utility of each system to unlock real computational value years ahead of digital-only roadmaps.
Designed for companies, researchers, and institutions beginning their quantum journey, SpeQtrum offers an intuitive interface to prototype hybrid algorithms, run near-term applications, and benchmark performance across computing modalities. By lowering the barriers to experimentation and providing scalable, multimodal resources, SpeQtrum directly supports the OQI’s mission to expand equitable global access to cutting-edge quantum technologies. The company will also support OQI’s outreach and dissemination activities, contributing to broader public understanding and participation in quantum science.
