Founded in 2019, ColibriTD is a leading deep-tech company based in Paris and dedicated to revolutionizing industrial simulation. We develop a quantum multi-physics simulation platform called QUICK powered by or hybrid quantum-classic algorithm H-DES to solve the world's most complex computational challenges.
The name ColibriTD reflects our fundamental identity. The Colibri (Hummingbird) symbolizes agility, precision,and the ability to hover between dimensions. ITD stands for Information Technology and Design, the structural foundation of our engineering.
Visionaries Hacène and Laurent realized that quantum computing remained trapped within the walls of academia. They envisioned a bridge that would allow industries to leverage the "Quantum Computing Era" for real-world use cases and competitive advantage.
Today, we are that bridge. We operate at the intersection of rigorousscientific research and industrial application, ensuring that the theoreticalleaps of today become the operational standard of tomorrow.
We are building the foundation for next-generation simulation, making the incredible power of quantum accessible to every visionary enterprise on the planet.
ColibriTD develops quantum computing software platform for scientific and industrial applications.
The company focuses on applying hybrid quantum algorithms to problems that appear in large scale simulations, especially those based on physics and engineering models (such as fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, and material science).
ColibriTD builds a complete software stack that includes:
The objective is to make quantum computing usable for researchers, simulation engineers, and industrial R&D teams.
ColibriTD was founded in 2019 by Dr. Laurent Guiraud and Hacène Goudjil.
Since its creation, the company has focused on developing a quantum software platform and building bridges between quantum computing and real industrial use cases.
ColibriTD collaborates with industrial partners, research institutions, and public organizations through several approaches.
Companies can start experimenting directly using the QUICK-PDE Qiskit function, which provides access to hybrid quantum algorithms for scientific computing.
ColibriTD also works through project based collaborations. These projects typically start with a three month phase to identify a relevant use case and explore initial approaches. This phase is followed by a go or no go decision for a second phase of deeper experimentation, including tests on real quantum hardware.
The company also participates in collaborative research programs and public funding initiatives at the French and European level.
Quantum computing is a fast growing deeptech field that includes startups working on hardware, software, and algorithms.
ColibriTD is a deeptech company focused on the software layer, developing hybrid quantum algorithms and tools for multi-physic simulation.
Other startups work on building quantum processors, control systems, or full stack platforms.
Together, these companies form a broader ecosystem that supports the development and adoption of quantum technologies.
Many companies develop tools to support researchers working in quantum computing.
These tools include programming frameworks, simulators, cloud platforms, and algorithm libraries.
ColibriTD develops MPQP, an open source Python library designed to help researchers structure, analyze, and execute quantum programs across multiple hardware backends.
The company also provides tools such as QUICK and QUICK-PDE to allow researchers to experiment with hybrid quantum algorithms on real scientific problems.
France has a strong ecosystem of quantum computing startups working across both hardware and software.
ColibriTD is part of this ecosystem and focuses on quantum software and hybrid algorithms for scientific computing and industrial applications.
Several French startups are recognized internationally for their work on quantum hardware and enabling technologies. Examples include:
Within this ecosystem, ColibriTD brings a complementary approach by focusing on the software layer. The company develops tools and algorithms that allow researchers and engineers to use quantum computing on real industrial and scientific problems.
This positioning allows ColibriTD to work alongside hardware providers and integrate with multiple quantum infrastructures while remaining hardware agnostic.
