Zapata Quantum, Inc.

Zapata Quantum, Inc. is a pure-play hardware-agnostic quantum software company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 2017 as a spin-out from Harvard University's Quantum Computing Lab, the company's mission is to accelerate the development of quantum and hybrid quantum-classical computing applications, bridging the gap between quantum potential and practical business value.

Zapata Quantum offers a suite of subscription-based software products, including Orquestra, Bench-Q, Quantum Graph, and Quantum Pilot, which provide infrastructure and workflow tools for quantum application development. These solutions support a wide range of use cases across various industries, such as cryptography, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, materials discovery, defense, chemistry, optimization, machine learning, finance, energy, and logistics. The company serves Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies, providing professional services for proof-of-concept development and enterprise adoption of quantum-enabled solutions.

In recent developments, Zapata Quantum completed a multi-phase restructuring and an oversubscribed $15 million strategic financing round in April 2026. The company subsequently uplisted to the OTCQB Venture Market in June 2026, trading under the ticker ZPTA, and aims for a future listing on a national exchange. Leadership was strengthened in May 2026 with the return of co-founders Yudong Cao as CTO and Jonathan Olson as VP of Strategy and Operations. Zapata Quantum positions itself as the only US-based, publicly traded pure-play hardware-agnostic quantum software company, holding over 60 granted and pending patents, and has notably participated across all technical areas of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking program. In June 2026, the company announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to apply agentic AI to accelerate quantum algorithm development.
