Qaptiva Quantum Simulator
A quantum simulator is a software (or specialized hardware) solution that emulates the behavior of a quantum processing unit (QPU) on a powerful classical computer. It allows researchers to work with concepts such as qubits (quantum bits), which, unlike classical bits, can exist in a superposition of states 0 and 1 simultaneously and with quantum gates.
Why is this important? Because simulating complex quantum systems is extremely demanding for classical computers. Our simulator provides a controlled environment with a rich set of advanced functionalities.
Key Advantages and Functionality
- Accurate Physics Emulation:
- The Qaptiva 808 uses a powerful, multi-patented hardware infrastructure to emulate execution as if it were a real quantum computer.
- Unlike today’s physical QPUs, which suffer from noise, decoherence, and operational errors, Qaptiva computes quantum programs with double-precision accuracy, allowing developers to focus on algorithm design without hardware limitations.
- Software Agility and Compatibility:
- Software developed on Qaptiva is hardware- and software-agnostic, enabling the creation of programs optimized for various quantum hardware platforms.
- Code built on Qaptiva can run on both simulated and future quantum accelerators without requiring any modification to the programming pipeline.
- Programming and Development Tools:
- The platform supports a universal quantum programming model and provides a hybrid language based on the widely used Python, adapted for NISQ-era algorithms (e.g., variational algorithms).
- It includes an abstraction layer (Eviden Quantum ASseMbly Python) for generating universal code and supports gate-based, annealing, and analog quantum computations.
- A Jupyter Notebook interface with a client–server setup offers access to an extensive library of mathematical modules, algorithms, and routines for immediate project execution.
- Comprehensive Emulation and Optimization:
- The simulator includes a best-in-class optimization package for adapting quantum circuits to specific hardware (gate set rewriting, topology adjustments).
- It enables full-state vector simulation of up to 40 qubits,
and provides QPU noise emulation with multiple configurable noise models (e.g., trapped-ion, superconducting circuits) for realistic testing without reducing available qubits. - It also supports quantum annealing simulations with up to 50,000 spins, achieving significantly higher accuracy than existing annealing hardware.
The Qaptiva 808 serves as a powerful bridge between classical and future quantum computing, powered by a specialized hardware infrastructure that emulates quantum execution with one key advantage — precision.
