BQP
BQPhy®’s Quantum-Inspired Optimization (QIO) platform is designed to overcome the traditional computational bottlenecks associated with simulations. BQPhy leverages quantum-inspired optimisation algorithms that replicate the mathematical principles of quantum computing, such as tensor-based representations of quantum circuits, on traditional HPCs, CPUs, and GPUs.
