Company profile

researched Aug 2026

1QBit (1QB Information Technologies) develops computational software intended to make previously intractable problems tractable. Its current public positioning centers on "automated quantum design" — design tools for utility-scale quantum computation — alongside a broader theme of applying next-generation computational tools to long-standing problems.

The company frames its work around the idea that the tools available to practitioners shape how problems are understood, and that revisiting established problems with newer computational methods can surface better solutions and new opportunities.

Latest developments

1QBit states it has been invited to participate in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) program, working with collaborators on guiding quantum computing toward utility-scale compute.
