Insider Brief RhymeQ raised $2.2 million in pre-seed funding to develop software designed to let Python developers program quantum computers.

Its Rhyme compiler translates conventional code for multiple quantum processors and NVIDIA CUDA-Q, supporting both quantum simulators and hardware.

Quantum computers promise to solve significant problems and expand the reach of supercomputing and AI, for instance in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, finance, or manufacturing.

The actual coding is familiar and conventional, while the company’s compilers handle the translation for quantum computers.

RhymeQ will also partner with quantum hardware companies to integrate their existing software libraries with Rhyme.
