Company profile

researched Aug 2026

QpiAI is a vertically integrated quantum computing and artificial intelligence company headquartered in Bengaluru, India. It develops both hardware and software layers of a hybrid quantum-classical stack, positioning its offering as a combination of AI models, quantum software, quantum computers, and classical high-performance computing with co-located data center and cloud integration.

On the hardware side, the company builds superconducting qubit systems. Its QpiAI Gen-1 system is a 25-qubit superconducting quantum computer that the company describes as scalable to 300 qubits, with support for single and multi-QPU configurations and QPU virtualisation. QpiAI has also launched Kaveri, a 64-qubit superconducting quantum processor chip based on a proprietary flip-chip integration approach that uses wafer-scale fabrication for qubit density, low-loss interconnects, and separation of the qubit and interconnect layers.

On the software side, QpiAI markets a product family that includes QpiAI-Quantum, an end-to-end quantum developer platform providing access to the Gen-1 quantum computer alongside a cloud IDE, a quantum development SDK, application-oriented quantum computing workflows, job/organization/credit management, and enterprise security and compliance features. Additional products span QpiAI-Pro, QpiAI-Opt, QpiAI-Matter, QpiAI-Pharma and QpiAI-Logistics, complemented by enterprise Gen-AI offerings covering predictive analytics, computer vision, large language models and AI agents.

Business model

QpiAI sells integrated AI and quantum computing products and solutions to enterprises, spanning hardware, software and platform layers. Delivery models described include on-premise or co-located quantum systems integrated with existing high-performance computing infrastructure, cloud-based quantum access, and quantum computing as a service (QCaaS) offering on-demand hybrid quantum-classical resources so customers can scale without large infrastructure outlays.

The company's stated commercial routes are enterprise product and solution sales across AI and quantum offerings, a quantum developer platform with credit-based job management, and QCaaS/quantum cloud access on an on-demand basis.

Traction

QpiAI has brought a 25-qubit Gen-1 superconducting quantum computer into operation in Bengaluru and launched Kaveri, a 64-qubit superconducting processor chip. A Nasscom case study reports the company accelerating automotive design simulations by up to 96x while reducing compute requirements by 10x, and media coverage has described its Bengaluru system as India's most powerful quantum computer.

Latest developments

The most recent publicly highlighted development is the launch of QpiAI Kaveri, a 64-qubit superconducting quantum processor chip built on the company's proprietary flip-chip integration technology, alongside continued early-access enrollment for its QCaaS and quantum developer platform.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

QpiAI presents itself as an indigenous Indian full-stack quantum computing and AI provider, with its Bengaluru quantum computer characterized in media coverage as India's most powerful, competing in the enterprise hybrid quantum-classical computing segment.

QpiAI positions itself on full-stack vertical integration, combining AI models, quantum software, its own superconducting quantum hardware and classical HPC in a single hybrid stack, together with application-optimized solutions tailored to specific industries and QPU virtualisation for multi-QPU systems.

Technology

The core technology is superconducting qubit quantum processors. Kaveri, a 64-qubit chip, uses proprietary superconducting flip-chip integration with wafer-scale fabrication for high qubit density, low-loss interconnects, and separated qubit and interconnect layers. The Gen-1 25-qubit system is described as offering long coherence times and low error rates, with multi-QPU integration and QPU virtualisation. Software layers include a quantum development SDK, cloud IDE, application-specific circuit optimizations, and AI/Gen-AI tooling such as LLMs, computer vision and AI agents, all designed to interoperate with classical HPC systems.

Go-to-market

The company markets directly to enterprises through its product portfolio and industry-specific solutions, with inbound contact and early-access requests for QCaaS and its quantum developer platform. It also builds visibility through published case studies and media coverage, including a Nasscom India Means Innovation case study on quantum- and AI-accelerated automotive design simulation and broadcast coverage of its Bengaluru quantum computer.
