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:
| Interface | Best For | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Python SDK | Application development | Async support, Qiskit/Cirq integration, type hints |
| CLI | Scripting & automation | Batch processing, CI/CD, shell integration |
| REST API | Custom integrations | Language-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
📊 Transparent Pricing
| Tier | Jobs/Day | Max Qubits | Max Shots | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 10 | 20 | 10,000 | $0 |
| Pro | 100 | 50 | 100,000 | $49/mo |
| Enterprise | Unlimited | 100 | 1,000,000 | Custom |
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
}'
