On December 2, 2025, Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech joined CERN’s Open Quantum Institute (OQI), a multilateral initiative promoting global access to quantum computing. Qilimanjaro will provide cloud access to its multimodal analog–digital quantum platform, SpeQtrum, integrating in-house fluxonium superconducting chips for analog computation with commercial digital QPUs and classical HPC resources. This partnership supports the OQI’s mission to democratize quantum technologies and expand equitable global access, specifically contributing to the “Access for All” pillar. By offering a unified environment for hybrid algorithms and benchmarking, Qilimanjaro aims to accelerate the development of practical quantum applications and broaden public participation in quantum science.
Qilimanjaro and CERN’s Open Quantum Institute Collaboration
On December 2, 2025, Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech announced a collaboration with CERN’s Open Quantum Institute (OQI) to expand global access to multimodal quantum computing. This partnership will see Qilimanjaro provide cloud access to its platform, supporting the OQI’s goals of outreach, education, and public benefit initiatives. Qilimanjaro’s participation reinforces its strategy of democratizing early quantum access through both Quantum-as-a-Service and on-premise deployments, empowering users to co-design the next generation of quantum applications.
Qilimanjaro contributes to the OQI’s “Access for All” pillar by providing access to its SpeQtrum Quantum-as-a-Service platform. This platform offers remote access to a multimodal quantum data center integrating fluxonium superconducting chips for analog computation, commercial digital QPUs, and classical HPC resources. The company’s approach combines analog, digital, and classical supercomputing to maximize utility and unlock computational value, potentially years ahead of digital-only roadmaps.
Founded in 2019, Qilimanjaro is focused on fast-tracking useful quantum computers through its signature analog quantum chips. Their full-stack systems are based on fluxonium analog qubits, a novel architecture designed to bypass the need for error correction and offer faster, more scalable solutions in areas like simulation, optimization, and AI. The company offers both remote access via SpeQtrum and on-premise systems for HPC centers and research institutions.
Multimodal Quantum Computing Platform and Access
Qilimanjaro is collaborating with CERN’s Open Quantum Institute (OQI) to expand global access to multimodal quantum computing. This partnership will provide cloud access to Qilimanjaro’s platform, supporting the OQI’s goals of inclusive and responsible quantum computing access. Qilimanjaro’s contribution directly addresses the OQI’s “Access for All” pillar, democratizing quantum technologies through its Quantum-as-a-Service platform, SpeQtrum, and on-premise deployments.
Qilimanjaro’s SpeQtrum platform provides remote access to a unique multimodal quantum data center. This environment integrates in-house fluxonium superconducting chips for analog computation alongside commercial digital QPUs and classical HPC resources. This combined analog-digital approach is designed to maximize computational utility, potentially unlocking real-world value years ahead of digital-only systems. SpeQtrum offers an intuitive interface for prototyping and benchmarking across these different computing modalities.
This multimodal platform distinguishes itself through analog quantum computation, which encodes problems naturally and results in more stable qubits with fewer errors, bypassing the need for extensive error correction found in digital systems. Founded in 2019, Qilimanjaro builds full-stack quantum computers based on fluxonium analog qubits, offering advantages in simulation, optimization, and AI applications where digital QPUs often fall short.
We are committed to making quantum technologies accessible, responsible, and impactful. Our multimodal analog-digital approach offers a practical path toward meaningful applications, and we’re proud to support the OQI’s global mission.

Qilimanjaro’s Analog and Digital Quantum Technology Development
Qilimanjaro is developing both analog and digital quantum technology, with a focus on a multimodal approach. The company builds full-stack quantum computers based on fluxonium analog qubits, aiming to bypass the need for error correction and achieve faster, more scalable solutions. This strategy combines analog systems—which encode problems naturally for stable qubits—with commercial digital QPUs and classical HPC resources within the SpeQtrum platform.
Qilimanjaro’s SpeQtrum Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform provides remote access to its multimodal quantum data center, combining analog, digital, and classical computing. This platform is designed to maximize the utility of each system, potentially unlocking computational value ahead of digital-only approaches. SpeQtrum offers an intuitive interface for prototyping hybrid algorithms and benchmarking performance, supporting the development of quantum applications for companies and researchers.
Founded in 2019, Qilimanjaro contributes to expanding global access to quantum technologies through its partnership with CERN’s Open Quantum Institute (OQI). This collaboration involves providing cloud access to its multimodal platform and supporting OQI’s outreach efforts. Qilimanjaro’s dual technology strategy aims to expand access to quantum computing resources both now, via SpeQtrum, and through on-premise systems for HPC centers and research institutions.
