RhymeQ is joining NVIDIA’s inception program
- RhymeQ has developed Rhyme, a product that makes programming quantum computers as simple as writing in Python
- Launching at NVIDIA GTC Berlin, built on NVIDIA CUDA-Q
- Round led by Ground State Ventures with participation from Vanagon Ventures, Plug and Play, and Freiraum Ventures.
22 October 2026 - Berlin, Germany
RhymeQ Technologies is excited to announce its membership in the NVIDIA Inception program.
At RhymeQ, we are building RHYME — a Python-based, high-level abstraction layer designed to make quantum computing accessible to mainstream software developers.
Today, quantum programming still requires highly specialized knowledge of quantum physics, gates, qubits, and hardware-specific frameworks. RHYME introduces a higher level of abstraction, allowing programmers to focus on solving real-world problems while our technology handles much of the underlying quantum complexity. RHYME is hardware-agnostic, so the same code can run on GPU-accelerated simulators as well as a broad range of quantum hardware.
RHYME compiles directly into lower-level languages such as NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q, connecting our platform with NVIDIA’s quantum-classical computing ecosystem.
We are also exploring the convergence of Agentic AI and quantum computing, building on NVIDIA’s NOOA framework, with the vision of enabling AI agents to help orchestrate when and how classical and quantum computing resources are used within a single programming workflow.
Joining the NVIDIA Inception program for startups is an important milestone as we work toward our mission:
Making quantum computing programmable for every software developer on the planet — without requiring them to become quantum experts.
We are proud to partner with NVIDIA on our unique compiler so that it also supports CUDA-Q, one of the world’s most popular low-level quantum languages. In addition, we are collaborating with NVIDIA on their NOOA framework to develop the agentic piece of our product vision. It is therefore fitting for us to come out of stealth at NVIDIA’s GTC. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to engaging with the NVIDIA ecosystem and accelerating our journey toward making quantum computing part of the mainstream software development stack,” says Dr. Daniel Volz, cofounder & CEO of RhymeQ Technologies.
About RhymeQ: RhymeQ Technologies makes quantum programmable for every developer. Its abstraction layer, Rhyme, lets anyone with basic Python skills write and debug quantum applications without touching qubits, gates, or physics, and compiles to a wide range of quantum hardware with no vendor lock-in. RhymeQ’s goal is for Rhyme to become the default way the world programs quantum computers, used by developers everywhere and adopted by enterprises to solve industrially relevant problems as error-corrected hardware arrives.
Founded in 2026 by Dr. Daniel Volz (CEO), Dr. Tamás Varga (CTO) and Christina Wu (COO), RhymeQ already works with blue-chip enterprise design partners in chemicals, pharma, manufacturing and mobility.
The company is based in Karlsruhe, Germany and Zürich, Switzerland. Learn more at https://www.rhymeq.com
