Zapata Computing
Zapata Computing, Inc. (Zapata) is a quantum computing software company, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Zapata spun out of Harvard University in 2017[1] to develop quantum software and quantum algorithms for business[2] and has established hardware partnerships with Microsoft,[3] IBM,[4] Google,[5] Rigetti,[6] Honeywell,[7] Atos,[8] and AWS.[9] Zapata applies quantum computing technology to solve computing challenges beyond the capabilities of classical computers.[10]
Products
Zapata developed and launched the Orquestra platform in 2020.[11] Orquestra is a unified quantum operating environment, allowing users to develop workflows from various sources and libraries, and deploy them across a range of hardware options.
Algorithms
Zapata develops algorithms in the areas of optimization, simulation and modeling, and machine learning across industries including finance, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, transportation and logistics, materials, energy and utilities, aerospace and automotive, chemistry, digital content, blockchain, and defense. These algorithms are designed to run on NISQ (noisy intermediate state quantum)[12] computers in the near term.[13]
