Get your company ready for quantum computing before it gets here.
AndesQubit is a quantum computing consultancy from Medellín. We help companies in Latin America and the US protect their data against future quantum attacks, figure out where quantum could actually pay off, and train their engineers to test ideas on real hardware.

NIST publishes its first three post-quantum encryption standards: FIPS 203, 204 and 205.

Google's Willow chip shows errors going down as qubits are added, a first for error correction.

NIST's transition plan deprecates RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography, then disallows it.
What we do
Some of this work matters right now, because encrypted data stolen today can be decrypted later. Some of it pays off once the hardware matures. We tell you which is which before you spend anything.
- 01Quantum readiness assessmentWhere quantum computing will touch your business, how soon, and what is worth doing about it this year.Useful now
- 02Post-quantum cryptography migrationMove your encryption and signatures to the NIST post-quantum standards in a planned order, starting with what attackers can record today.Useful now
- 03Quantum use-case discoveryA structured search through your operations for problems where quantum computing could matter, with honest filters and classical baselines.Useful now
- 04Hybrid quantum proof of conceptA time-boxed experiment that runs one of your problems through a hybrid quantum-classical workflow and measures it against the best classical approach.1–3 years
- 05Quantum software developmentHybrid quantum-classical code that your engineers can test, maintain and move between hardware vendors.1–3 years
- 06Quantum training for teamsShort, role-specific quantum computing courses that leave each group able to do its part of the work.Useful now
- 07Quantum strategy and roadmapA board-level quantum plan that says what to spend, on what, and which outside signals move you to the next stage.Useful now
We build with quantum programming languages
We develop quantum software in the languages and SDKs the hardware makers support: Qiskit for IBM, Cirq for Google, Q# for Microsoft Azure Quantum, CUDA-Q for GPU simulation, PennyLane for quantum machine learning, and OpenQASM 3 and QIR to keep code portable between vendors. We pick the stack for your problem and your team, not for a vendor.

By industry
Quantum won't hit every sector at the same time or in the same way. Banks worry about encryption first. Pharma cares about simulating molecules. Logistics wants better routes.

Why a Latin American quantum firm
Spanish first, not translated later
Most quantum material is written in English for US and European buyers. Our reports, workshops and courses are written in Spanish from the start, by people who work in it every day.
Honest about timelines
A lot of quantum marketing promises results the hardware can't deliver yet. We separate what is useful today (post-quantum security, readiness, training) from what is still research.
Your time zone
Medellín shares working hours with New York, Mexico City, Bogotá, Lima and Santiago. Workshops happen live, not over a twelve-hour delay.

How to build a cryptographic inventory (CBOM) in six steps
Every post-quantum roadmap starts with the same task, finding out where your cryptography is. This guide covers how to build that cryptographic inventory, what to record for each item, and the mistakes that make it useless.

Harvest now, decrypt later: why your data is already at risk
An attacker does not need a quantum computer today to steal what you encrypt today. They only need to record it and wait. Which data that puts at risk, and what reduces the exposure.

How to choose your first quantum use case (and when to wait)
Most problems a company brings to quantum computing turn out to be classical problems. A short scoring exercise tells you which one or two are worth a pilot, and saves you from the rest.
Straight answers
Is quantum computing useful for my business today?
For most companies, not directly yet. What is useful today is preparing: moving your encryption to post-quantum standards, knowing which of your problems quantum might help with, and having people on the team who understand the technology.
Do I need to buy a quantum computer?
No. IBM, Amazon Braket, Microsoft Azure Quantum, Google and others rent access to real quantum processors through the cloud. You pay for machine time, and a lot of early work runs on free simulators.
When will quantum computers break RSA?
Nobody can give you an exact year. Governments are planning as if it could happen in the 2030s, which is why NIST's transition plan moves away from RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography between 2030 and 2035.
Are you already taking clients?
We are opening our first engagements in stages. If you join the early-access list, we will contact you when there is a slot and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. Every engagement, report and course is available in Spanish and in English.
Get in before the queue forms
We are taking a short list of companies for our first readiness assessments and post-quantum migrations. Tell us what you are working on and we will get back to you within two business days.
