Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Qiskit function ?

A Qiskit Function is a high-level, managed service designed to simplify quantum computing workflows. Instead of manually coding every step of a complex algorithm, you can call a "function" that handles specific tasks automatically.

Key features include:

  • Abstraction: It hides the complexity of circuit optimization and error suppression.
  • Efficiency: Functions run on cloud infrastructure, optimized for IBM Quantum hardware.
  • Modularity: You can easily integrate them into larger classical applications without being a quantum physics expert.

In short, if a Qiskit SDK is your toolbox, a Qiskit Function is a pre-built power tool designed for a specific job (like finding a molecule's ground state or solving an optimization problem).

What is QUICK-PDE

QUICK-PDE is a Qiskit function developed by ColibriTD. The name "QUICK-PDE" is for colibriTD's platform Quantum Innovative Computing Kit (QUICK) + Partial Differential Equation (PDE) which is what we can solve with ColibriTD's platform.

The function allows engineers and researchers to experiment with quantum approaches for solving mathematical equations that appear in scientific simulations, especially partial differential equations used in physics and engineering (i.e.CFD, Material Deformation…)

QUICK-PDE is powered by the Hybrid Differential Equation Solver (H-DES), a hybrid quantum classical algorithm developed by ColibriTD. The algorithm combines classical optimization with parameterized quantum circuits in order to explore complex numerical problems.

Through this function, users can test how hybrid quantum algorithms behave on scientific computing problems without having to implement the full algorithm themselves.

The function is designed to run on different quantum infrastructures thanks to the hardware agnostic architecture of the ColibriTD software stack.

Is there a platform to test quantum algorithms without owning a quantum computer?

Yes. Many quantum experiments today are performed through cloud platforms and simulators.

These infrastructures allow researchers and engineers to run quantum circuits without owning physical quantum hardware.

Through Qiskit functions such as QUICK-PDE developed by ColibriTD, users can access advanced quantum algorithms directly through the cloud.

This allows teams to experiment with quantum computing, run simulations, and test hybrid algorithms on scientific problems without needing to maintain a quantum processor themselves.

How much does the QUICK-PDE Qiskit function cost?

The QUICK-PDE Qiskit function is available to members of the IBM Quantum Network.

For organizations that are part of this network, the annual subscription cost is 25,000 USD.

This subscription provides access to the QUICK-PDE function developed by ColibriTD and allows teams to experiment with hybrid quantum algorithms applied to scientific simulations.

Through this access, engineers and researchers can test quantum approaches for solving complex equations and explore how quantum computing can be integrated into their scientific or industrial workflows.
