BlueQubit
BlueQubit is a San Francisco quantum-software startup founded in 2022 by Hrant Gharibyan and Hayk Tepanyan. Its Quantum-Software-as-a-Service (QSaaS) platform lets engineers write algorithms in familiar frameworks like Qiskit, Cirq and PennyLane and run them - with a single click - on GPU-based emulators the company says run up to 100x faster than common alternatives, or on real quantum hardware such as IBM's Heron and Quantinuum's H2. The company raised a $10M seed round in December 2024 and works with partners including IBM, NVIDIA, Quantinuum, Honda, AWS and Stanford. Its stated goal is to democratize quantum computing and make it practical for real-world enterprise applications.
Hrant Gharibyan
Hrant Gharibyan is the co-founder and CEO of BlueQubit, a San Francisco quantum-software-as-a-service startup he launched in 2022 with Hayk Tepanyan. A theoretical physicist trained at MIT, Stanford (PhD under Leonard Susskind), and Caltech (in John Preskill's group), he co-authored a wormhole-teleportation algorithm that Google Quantum AI later ran on a real superconducting processor. BlueQubit builds GPU-accelerated emulators and a cloud platform that lets enterprises design and run quantum algorithms, and raised a $10M seed round in December 2024 led by Nyca Partners.
