CQSI — Certified Quantum Systems Integrator

The quantum integration credential

Certified to integrate quantum computing

Evaluating quantum computing technologies is the first step. Making them work in production is the next. The CQSI — Certified Quantum Systems Integrator validates operational competence in integrating quantum processors with classical infrastructure, orchestrating hybrid workflows, and operating quantum computing systems in production.

CQSI addresses the gap between technology evaluation and operational reality. Quantum computers depend on substantial classical computing infrastructure, and integrating these systems requires skills that do not exist in most organizations today. It is designed for systems architects, integration engineers, HPC administrators, cloud architects, and DevOps engineers.
