Syracuse, NY | January 2026

BQP is building the next generation of hybrid quantum-classical software to accelerate large-scale modeling, simulation, and optimization workloads across science and engineering.

Founded in 2022 by aerospace engineer and computational scientist Abhishek Chopra, BQP develops software that applies quantum mathematical techniques on classical high-performance computing systems. This approach enables organizations to achieve meaningful performance gains today—without waiting for large-scale quantum hardware to become commercially available.

While quantum computers continue to mature, the industry is moving toward hybrid computing architectures, where classical and quantum systems work together to address the most complex computational challenges. BQP’s platform is designed for this transition, modernizing mathematical frameworks that have remained largely unchanged for decades and significantly reducing time-to-solution for engineers and scientists.

BQP’s technology supports applications across aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and scientific research, helping teams move from long simulation cycles to faster, more iterative workflows.

The company has attracted support from both private and public sectors, raising nearly $7 million in funding since inception, including venture investment and backing from New York Ventures. In 2025, BQP was recognized as Upstate Capital’s Venture Deal of the Year and participated in defense innovation programs exploring quantum-enhanced simulation capabilities.

Today, BQP operates with a growing team of approximately 40 employees, headquartered at the INSPYRE Innovation Hub in downtown Syracuse, with team members distributed across the United States. The company collaborates with leading technology and simulation ecosystem partners, including NVIDIA, IBM, Intel, and MathWorks.

As part of its long-term mission, BQP is committed to strengthening the Upstate New York deep-tech ecosystem and advancing practical pathways toward quantum-ready computing infrastructure.
