Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech partnered with CERN’s Open Quantum Institute (OQI) to expand global quantum computing access via its SpeQtrum Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform, announced December 2025. The SpeQtrum QaaS platform integrates fluxonium-based analog quantum chips, digital QPUs, and classical HPC into a unified cloud-accessible system, enabling hybrid algorithm development without extensive error correction. Qilimanjaro’s analog approach naturally encodes complex problems, offering near-term advantages in optimization and simulation over digital-only systems, aligning with OQI’s “Access for All” initiative. The collaboration supports UN Sustainable Development Goals by empowering global users—especially in underserved regions—to prototype quantum applications through CERN’s inclusive, responsible access framework. CEO Marta P. Estarellas emphasized the partnership’s role in democratizing quantum tech, enabling co-design of next-gen applications while prioritizing accessibility and societal impact.

Qilimanjaro Joins CERN’s Open Quantum Institute to Expand Global Access to Multimodal Platform Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has announced a new partnership with the Open Quantum Institute (OQI), a multilateral initiative hosted at CERN, to promote global access to quantum computing. Qilimanjaro will provide cloud access to its multimodal quantum platform, SpeQtrum Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS), which is intended to support OQI’s mission of accelerating applications for humanity. The SpeQtrum QaaS platform provides remote access to Qilimanjaro’s on-premise multimodal quantum data center, which tightly integrates fluxonium superconducting chips for analog quantum computation, commercial digital QPUs, and classical HPC resources within a unified environment. Qilimanjaro’s unique architecture uses analog quantum computers—which encode complex problems naturally within the system—to bypass the extensive error correction required by digital systems, offering near-term advantages in simulation and optimization. Qilimanjaro’s contribution directly supports the OQI’s pillar of “Access for All,” empowering users worldwide to prototype hybrid algorithms and run near-term applications. The OQI, hosted at CERN, promotes global, inclusive, and responsible access to quantum computing, focusing on use cases aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Qilimanjaro’s participation reinforces its roadmap of democratizing early quantum access, allowing users to co-design the next generation of quantum applications. Marta P. Estarellas, CEO of Qilimanjaro, noted that the company is committed to making quantum technologies accessible, responsible, and impactful. Read the full announcement here.
