Introduction to Softquantus QCOS

Softquantus QCOS (Quantum Circuit Optimization Service) is a professional-grade platform for executing and optimizing quantum circuits at scale. Built by Softquantus for researchers, developers, and enterprises who need reliable, high-performance quantum computing infrastructure.

What is QCOS?

QCOS provides three ways to interact with our quantum execution infrastructure:

InterfaceBest ForFeatures
Python SDKApplication developmentAsync support, Qiskit/Cirq integration, type hints
CLIScripting & automationBatch processing, CI/CD, shell integration
REST APICustom integrationsLanguage-agnostic, webhooks, enterprise features

Key Features

⚡ GPU-Accelerated Execution

Execute quantum circuits on NVIDIA A100 GPUs through the LUMI supercomputer, one of the world's most powerful HPC systems.

  • Up to 100 qubits for state vector simulation
  • 10-100x faster than CPU-based simulators
  • cuStateVec backend for optimal GPU utilization

🔐 Enterprise Security

  • API key authentication with role-based access
  • Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest
  • SOC2-ready infrastructure
  • Audit logging for compliance

Quick Start

Option 1: Python SDK

from qcos import QCOSClient

# Initialize client
client = QCOSClient(api_key="your-api-key")

# Execute a Bell state circuit
result = client.execute(
qasm="""
OPENQASM 2.0;
include "qelib1.inc";
qreg q[2];
creg c[2];
h q[0];
cx q[0],q[1];
measure q -> c;
""",
shots=1024
)

print(result.counts)
# {'00': 512, '11': 512}

Option 2: Command Line

# Install CLI
pip install qcos-cli

# Configure credentials
qcos configure --api-key your-api-key

# Execute circuit from file
qcos execute circuit.qasm --shots 1024

# View results
qcos status <job-id>

Option 3: REST API

curl -X POST https://api.softquantus.com/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
-d '{
"qasm": "OPENQASM 2.0; ...",
"shots": 1024
}'
