A Quantum Leap in Computing from Syracuse

BQP, a tech firm based in Syracuse, is at the forefront of merging traditional computing with the promising realm of quantum technology. Situated in the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, this company is spearheading efforts to build sophisticated software with an enthusiastic team. Led by its founder, Abhishek Chopra, BQP is capitalizing on quantum mathematics to significantly boost computational speeds—even as true quantum computers remain in development.

The software from BQP processes information up to ten times faster than today’s top computers, driving innovation across fields like medical research and aerospace. Chopra sees the software as a stepping-stone to more complex problem-solving. “We’re advancing towards a hybrid future in data centers, coupling conventional high-performance systems with quantum capabilities to tackle scientific dilemmas,” he noted.

Investment and Innovation

Since BQP’s start in 2022, they’ve drawn considerable interest and funding, primarily from private investors and the U.S. military. Last year alone, they secured nearly $7 million, including significant backing from Armory Square Ventures. Recognition for their groundbreaking work came in 2025 with the Venture Deal of the Year award from Upstate Capital, along with a substantial grant from the HUSTLE Defense Accelerator.

Operating out of the CenterState CEO’s INSPYRE Hub, BQP’s team transcends local boundaries, employing talent from across the country. Their work with leading tech companies propels their mission to shrink modeling and simulation timelines for scientists and engineers.

Chopra’s vision for Syracuse includes establishing it as a hotspot for quantum tech, leveraging the area’s military assets like Rome’s Air Force base designated as a quantum hub. “Upstate New York is ripe for transformation,” Chopra shared, inspired by historic industrial renaissances. His broader goal extends beyond BQP’s success to stimulating regional economic growth reminiscent of Kodak’s legendary impact.
