Solving Real Industry Problems on Today’s Quantum Computers

As quantum computing moves from theoretical promise to industrial reality, this keynote explores how Kipu Quantum is addressing real-world problems today using application-specific quantum algorithms. We highlight two pillars of Kipu’s solutions: quantum optimization and quantum machine learning, each tailored to deliver practical impact across industries.

Kipu’s optimization tech solves higher-order unconstrained binary optimization (HUBO) problems and has demonstrated significant runtime advantages over classical solvers - on current digital quantum processors. In parallel, Kipu’s machine learning innovations leverage analog quantum convolutions and quantum feature mapping to enhance image classification and predictive modeling in domains such as healthcare, finance and drug discovery.

These capabilities are seamlessly integrated into Kipu’s platform via the software products Huk (for quantum machine learning) and Iskay (for quantum optimization). The platform also provides access to quantum computers, forming a one-stop shop for quantum solutions, empowering developers and industry experts in working to unlock quantum advantage for their specific use cases.
