01 / What we do

Simulation services, from qubit to production.

Quantum computers are still growing up. Our simulation stack lets your teams design, test and benchmark quantum workflows today on laptops, clusters and GPUs — and deploy them on real QPUs tomorrow.

Quantum circuit emulation

High-performance state-vector, tensor-network and noisy (density-matrix) simulators to run circuits of realistic depth before you pay for hardware time.

  • GPU-accelerated backends
  • Hardware-specific noise models

Hybrid quantum–classical workflows

Production-grade VQE, QAOA and quantum machine-learning pipelines that pair a quantum circuit with a classical optimiser.

  • Problem → Hamiltonian mapping
  • Optimiser & ansatz tuning

Photonic circuit simulation

Model photonic integrated circuits — waveguides, beam splitters, phase shifters, single-photon sources and detectors — for photonic quantum computing and QKD.

  • Loss & indistinguishability models
  • Design-to-experiment validation

Hardware benchmarking

Vendor-neutral comparisons across superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom and photonic platforms — so you pick the right QPU for the job.

  • Resource & qubit estimation
  • Error-mitigation studies

Secure, on-premise deployment

Air-gapped installations for defence and regulated industries, with post-quantum cryptography readiness assessments.

  • Sovereign, India-hosted options
  • PQC migration roadmaps

Training & co-development

Hands-on workshops for scientists and engineers, and joint R&D projects with academia, startups and PSUs.

  • Qiskit & VQE bootcamps
  • Proof-of-concept sprints

02 / Our focus

Four domains. One simulation engine.

Economic value at stake from quantum computing by 2035, by industry.*

Molecular simulation

Molecules follow quantum rules, so a quantum computer is the natural way to simulate them. We model electronic structure, binding energies and reaction pathways for drug discovery and life sciences.

  • Ground- and excited-state energies (VQE, QPE)
  • Protein–ligand binding & drug candidate screening
  • Enzyme active sites and metalloproteins

03 / How it works

Finding a molecule's energy with VQE.

The Variational Quantum Eigensolver is a hybrid algorithm: a quantum circuit prepares a trial state, we measure its energy, and a classical optimiser nudges the circuit until the energy stops going down.

  1. 1

    Molecule

    Pick the geometry, e.g. H₂ at a bond length.

  2. 2

    Hamiltonian

    Map electrons to qubit operators (Jordan–Wigner).

  3. 3

    Ansatz

    A parameterised circuit prepares a trial state |ψ(θ)⟩.

  4. 4

    Measure

    Estimate ⟨ψ(θ)|H|ψ(θ)⟩ on a QPU or simulator.

  5. 5

    Optimise

    A classical optimiser updates θ and loops back.

Exact

Illustrative model: a Morse-potential fit of the H₂ ground-state curve with a simulated optimiser. Real VQE runs are part of our platform.

04 / Hardware-agnostic

One codebase, every qubit technology.

Superconducting

Microwave-controlled circuits at millikelvin temperatures. IBM, Google, Rigetti, QpiAI.

Photonic

Qubits encoded in light, room-temperature operation, telecom-fibre friendly. A key NQM platform.

Trapped ion

Individual ions held by electromagnetic fields with very high gate fidelities. IonQ, Quantinuum.

Neutral atom

Arrays of cold atoms moved by optical tweezers, scaling to hundreds of qubits. Pasqal, QuEra.

05 / India's quantum leap

The National Quantum Mission.

Approved by the Union Cabinet on 19 April 2023, the NQM is an eight-year programme to seed, nurture and scale quantum R&D and make India a leading nation in quantum technologies and applications. KanaQ's software is built to support this mission.
