BTQ'S QPERFECT DIVISION LAUNCHES GPU-ACCELERATED QLEO WITH NVIDIA CUDA-Q COMPATIBILITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH QUOBLY

BTQ Technologies Corp.'s QPerfect SA division, the emulation and control specialist for neutral atom systems, and Quobly, a pioneer in quantum microelectronics, have provided an upgrade to their quantum emulator, QLEO (Quobly logical emulator on-line). The launch coincides with the Supercomputing Conference (SC25), highlighting the global collaboration and European innovation driving the next generation of hybrid quantum computing.

Powered by QPerfect's Mimiq engine, this second-generation release introduces GPU acceleration and full Nvidia CUDA-Q compatibility, enabling developers, researchers and industry partners to simulate quantum algorithms at unprecedented speed and scale. With this upgrade, QLEO delivers faster, larger-scale quantum simulation on Nvidia accelerated computing, evolves into a more accessible and powerful platform for the quantum community, and marks an essential milestone in Quobly's industrialization roadmap toward an operational quantum computer.

A leap forward in quantum emulation

The upgraded QLEO integrates a powerful GPU-accelerated engine leveraging the Nvidia cuQuantum SDK, unlocking massive performance gains for quantum simulation. This update brings native CUDA-Q support, allowing developers to write quantum circuits in CUDA-Q and run them directly on QLEO without code changes. By utilizing Nvidia accelerated computing, the upgrade significantly broadens accessibility, giving the QLEO community an industry-leading tool set to explore quantum algorithms.

A powerful upgrade for developers and researchers

The upgraded QLEO, powered by QPerfect's robust Mimiq engine, delivers a seamless and reliable simulation environment tailored to the needs of the quantum community. By leveraging Nvidia accelerated computing and the cuQuantum SDK, QLEO achieves over 100 times speed-ups compared with CPU-only simulation. This new GPU back end not only unlocks massive performance gains but also enables users to design, test and rapidly iterate on their algorithms with the speed and flexibility of an industry-leading HPC platform. As a result of direct CUDA-Q integration, developers can design circuits in CUDA-Q and run them directly on QLEO -- without code changes. This dramatically simplifies the development of hybrid quantum-classical applications, allowing quantum kernels -- simulated on either GPU or CPU back ends -- to be seamlessly integrated within C++ or Python workflows, ensuring smooth adoption by both industrial and academic users.

Seamless access to Nvidia infrastructure

With CUDA-Q and cuQuantum integration, QLEO can take full advantage of Nvidia accelerated computing already deployed in leading data centres and cloud platforms worldwide. This ensures that advanced quantum simulation is not only faster but also broadly available to developers and researchers, whether on large-scale infrastructure or personal machines.

Why this matters for industry and research

Quantum circuit simulation is a cornerstone for advancing quantum algorithm development. CPU-only approaches quickly hit performance limits. GPU acceleration changes the equation. The upgraded QLEO addresses these challenges, enabling larger-scale simulations and accelerating innovation in areas such as quantum chemistry, combinatorial optimization, material discovery, quantitative finance, pharmaceutical development and artificial intelligence.

"By integrating GPU acceleration and full CUDA-Q compatibility, we are empowering our community to explore quantum-classical workflows at unprecedented scale and speed, a key step toward bridging emulation, cloud access and future hardware. This aligns perfectly with Quobly's industrialization strategy, shortening the path from emulation to a fully operational quantum machine," said Maud Vinet, chief executive officer and co-founder of Quobly.

"With native CUDA-Q support, QLEO now provides a direct on-ramp to Nvidia GPU infrastructure, empowering our community to accelerate their hybrid quantum-classical workflows," said Guido Masella, chief technology officer and co-founder of Qperfect. "By enabling GPU acceleration, users can now run quantum simulations an order of magnitude faster on GPU than on CPU, all while leveraging the advanced features and optimizations of the Mimiq back end."

"The launch of GPU-accelerated QLEO represents another major milestone in bringing quantum computing from the lab to scalable, real-world applications," said Olivier Roussy Newton, chief executive officer of BTQ Technologies. "By integrating Nvidia CUDA-Q and leveraging QPerfect's Mimiq engine, we're bridging the gap between simulation and hardware -- accelerating the path toward hybrid quantum systems that will power the next era of secure, high performance computing."

Availability

The new generation of QLEO is already operational and available to users on the OVHcloud quantum platform. It can also be installed locally on a personal computer through a simple pip install command.
