About usQQ1
QQ1 (Quaid Quantum 1) is CETQAP's 400-transmon superconducting quantum processor design.
QQ1 (Quaid Quantum 1) represents CETQAP's long-term quantum hardware initiative. The current milestone is the completion of a 400-transmon superconducting processor design and its GDS-II layout. The project now moves toward fabrication, characterization, benchmarking and experimental validation. QQ1 is intended to provide a foundation for future quantum computing research, education and applications in Pakistan.
QQ1 is a 400-qubit superconducting processor design developed by CETQAP.
PKTron v13.0.0 — the current public release. A Python-based quantum computing framework developed and maintained by CETQAP, providing tools for circuit simulation, algorithms, quantum machine learning, chemistry, cryptography, error correction, error mitigation, noise modelling and research.
BARQ is a quantum software initiative developed by CETQAP for quantum programming, simulation and research, supporting the development of Pakistan's emerging quantum computing ecosystem.
