CQ Catalyst-Q SDK

Exact Quantum and Optimization Execution for Production Teams

Submit Standard Inputs. Get Exact Results.

Catalyst-Q is a breakthrough simulator API and Python SDK for QASM circuits, SDK circuit objects, and optimization model payloads. Build with the inputs your team already uses, then validate outputs with reproducible benchmark artifacts.

pip install catalyst-q

Proof Harness

Catalyst-Q proof artifacts are benchmark-limited evidence for fixed TSP and VQE cases. They compare Catalyst-Q candidate rows against public baselines, record quality and time-to-best winners, and publish reproducibility hashes. The point is to let skeptical developers rerun the same cases.

Benchmark-limited claim 2 fixed cases

TSP and VQE wins are scoped to the named proof cases and public baselines.

Quality wins 2 / 2

cases_with_quality_win: 2 across exact TSP certificate and VQE chemical accuracy.

Time-to-best wins 2 / 2

cases_with_time_win: 2 for fastest route to the best reported candidate result.

Run the proof harness

pip install catalyst-q
catalyst-q-prove --output-dir catalyst-q-proof-results

The generated artifact contains input_sha256, result_sha256, baseline rows, candidate rows, and scoped winner fields. This is intentionally narrower than a global performance claim.

What is proven

  • tsplib_att48_mini reaches an exact TSP certificate and matches or beats nearest-neighbor and 2-opt baselines.
  • vqe_h2_sto3g reaches chemical accuracy against an exact H2-style reference.
  • Every result includes deterministic reproducibility hashes.
  • Private solver internals are not disclosed.
