Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech

Qilimanjaro’s integrated hardware & software team focuses on coherent quantum annealing high-quality qubit architectures to deliver scalable app-specific fully quantum processors and algorithmic services in a short timeframe.Qilimanjaro focuses on time-to-market by designing coherent quantum annealers, which do not require quantum errorcorrection and can be therefore faster-to-market. Annealers are known to optimally address certain problem categories, specifically optimization problems and Quantum Machine Learning.These categories are central to many real-world use cases across industries (logistics, traffic management, financial risk assessments, etc.), and will garner a clear demand.Specifically, Qilimanjaro’s architecture is designed on the basis of coherent qubits, whereby longer coherent times allow complex calculations to be performed in the real quantum regime, leveraging true quantum phenomena and therefore its computing capabilities.Existing quantum annealing industry players are focusing on incoherent qubits and, so far, do not show indications of exceeding conventional computing capabilities.
