Qilimanjaro is a full-stack quantum computing company that aims at maximizing current technology capabilities to provide practical quantum advantage in a shorter time frame by following a unique strategy through the analog model of quantum computation.

Qilimanjaro develops quantum computing platforms, focusing on analog QASIC (quantum app-specific devices). They aim at maximising the current capabilities of quantum technology by developing quantum computers codesigned for a particular function or application: they bring together the target
use-case with the design of (1) quantum algorithms and (2) superconducting chips. Their first MVP is to be released in 2024.

In the meantime they do algorithm co-design with several clients from the logistics, finance and energy sectors, to understand the market needs and drive quantum chips development through its QaaS (Quantum as a Service). In 2024 they will provide cloud access to their users to Qilimanjaro’s platforms (including) classical, quantum-analog and digital backends.

To ease the interaction between the user and the device Qilimanjaro contributed to the development of a full-stack programming framework named Qibo. Qilimanjaro offers a deployment and integration service to install quantum computers on-premise, as well as train on its operation and maintenance. They have deployed their services in the United Arab Emirates (2022) and in Spain (2023) through the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
