Design a quantum circuit, run it on your own device and watch every qubit โ€” on iPhone, iPad and Mac. SwiftQuantum is a quantum circuit IDE for learners, students, educators and developers. Drag gates onto the canvas, tap Run and see the result as a Bloch sphere, a histogram and a state vector. Then take any circuit to Python as a Qiskit script, on every plan. RUN IT ON YOUR DEVICE โ€ข Free: circuits up to 10 qubits โ€ข Scholar: any circuit up to 25 qubits โ€ข Master and Enterprise: Clifford circuits up to 127 qubits, even offline โ€ข Circuits with non-Clifford gates run up to 25 qubits. Larger ones aren't simulated anywhere: the app tells you what to change and sends nothing โ€ข A circuit leaves your device only after you tap Send BUILD CIRCUITS YOUR WAY โ€ข Drag-and-drop editor with ready-made circuits such as Bell and GHZ states โ€ข Every gate is free: H, X, Y, Z, S, T, RX, RY, RZ, CNOT, CZ, SWAP, Toffoli and Fredkin โ€ข Three engines โ€” Standard (Free), Turbo (Scholar) and HyperCore (Master) โ€” each computes exactly the circuit you drew, in shot mode too โ€ข Export (OpenQASM, Qiskit), on every plan: OpenQASM 2.0 and a Qiskit Python script that runs as is with Qiskit 1.x (pip install qiskit); every qubit is measured at the end. OpenQASM 2.0 import too โ€ข Larger text and VoiceOver support on the circuit editor and the subscription screen SEE WHAT YOUR QUBITS DO โ€ข A Bloch sphere for each qubit, plus a measurement histogram and the state vector for every run โ€ข Export results: PNG and CSV on Scholar; LaTeX, PDF and SVG on Master โ€ข Paid plans: view the unitary matrix of small circuits; Master also compares gate fidelity ERROR-CORRECTION LAB (MASTER AND ENTERPRISE) โ€ข Surface-code experiments: choose the code distance, physical error rate and decoder โ€ข Logical error rate with a 95% confidence interval, computed on our servers (network needed) โ€ข Every curve says where it came from: our servers, your device (distance 3, offline) or a dashed reference formula AI THAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE โ€ข Optional: download a compact AI model once, describe a circuit in plain language and get a circuit back โ€” generated without a network on supported devices โ€ข Your prompts stay on your device. Off by default; delete the model any time โ€ข Accepted results are sealed in a local, tamper-evident record: proof of where a circuit was made, not that it is correct NUMBERS YOU CAN CHECK โ€ข Benchmark (signed in): median run time per engine with a 95% confidence interval, measured on your device โ€ข Master and Enterprise: convert circuits to PennyLane and CUDA-Q code; each conversion shows its measured state overlap with your circuit, or "Not verified" โ€ข Q-Footprints: an opt-in log of your on-device runs that records only the shape of each run, never the circuit. Not a score or a certificate PLANS โ€” FREE TO START โ€ข Free: 10 qubits, 10 simulations a day when signed in, 5 saved circuits โ€ข Scholar: 25 qubits, 100 simulations a day, 50 saved circuits โ€ข Master: Clifford circuits up to 127 qubits, 2,000 simulations a day, 1,000 saved circuits โ€ข Enterprise: contact us All results are classical simulations; SwiftQuantum does not run circuits on quantum hardware. โ€” SwiftQuantum is free to download with optional auto-renewable subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

SwiftQuantum and Shinobi Term are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
