The quantum IDE that runs on your device — no cloud required. SwiftQuantum is a native quantum development environment for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Design, simulate, and ship real quantum circuits from anywhere — even in airplane mode. DESCRIBE IT, AND IT BUILDS • Write what you want in plain language, and SwiftQuantum builds a real, runnable quantum circuit for you • Edit, run, and inspect the results without ever leaving the app SIMULATE ON YOUR DEVICE — EVEN OFFLINE • Clifford (stabilizer) circuits up to 127 qubits, running entirely on-device — verified on a real iPhone in airplane mode • General circuits up to 25 qubits on-device • Your circuits never have to leave your device TOOLS FOR REAL WORK • An on-device AI coding assistant that helps you build circuits and fix them fast • A QEC (quantum error correction) decoder simulator with Monte Carlo analysis • A circuit linter that catches mistakes before you run • Export to industry-standard OpenQASM and other frameworks, including PennyLane and CUDA-Q — so your work moves with you AI THAT LIVES ON YOUR DEVICE • Optional: download a compact AI model that turns plain language into circuits entirely on your device — no network at all while it generates • Your prompts stay on your device, always • Every accepted result is sealed into a local, tamper-evident record you can inspect and verify in Settings — and records you sealed before keep verifying • Off by default; turn it on when you want it, delete the download any time KEEP A RECORD OF WHAT YOU ACTUALLY RAN • Q-Footprints seals each simulation you run on your device into a practice ledger you can verify later • Off by default and entirely optional — and even when it is on, your circuit itself is never sent • Your activity, the gates you have exercised, and your highest qubit counts, shown honestly and separately • Publish a profile others can open, or embed a verified badge on your own site (paid plans) • A seal attests that a run happened — it is not a skill score and not a certification PROTOTYPE QUANTUM-SAFE CRYPTOGRAPHY • Learn and experiment with post-quantum cryptography, hands-on • Includes a pure-Swift implementation of ML-KEM-768, the NIST-standardized key-encapsulation mechanism (FIPS 203) • Plus a reference implementation of ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) for exploring quantum-safe signatures • And an automated migration generator to help you scaffold quantum-safe code BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU WORK • Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Fully localized in 7 languages • Free to start Who it's for: quantum students learning by doing, educators teaching with real circuits, and developers building for the quantum-safe future. — SwiftQuantum is free to download with optional auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

SQQuantum Studio: The Universe in Your Hands Welcome to SQQuantum by Sapiens Qualia—a breathtaking leap in mobile scientific computing. SQQuantum bridges the gap between high-end desktop tensor analysis and accessible mobile education, putting a fully functional, lightning-fast quantum circuit simulator directly onto your iPhone and iPad. Whether you are a university physics student learning the fundamental mechanics of entanglement, a software engineer transitioning into quantum logic, or a researcher testing state-vector mathematics on the go, SQQuantum provides a flawless, professional-grade Integrated Development Environment (IDE) optimized specifically for the Apple ecosystem. OPTIMIZED FOR APPLE SILICON SQQuantum is an engineering masterpiece. Under the hood, it is powered by a custom-written, native C++ state-vector engine utilizing the heavy-duty Eigen mathematical framework. By bridging Swift directly to C++ and compiling natively for Apple’s A-Series and M-Series processors, the app achieves zero-latency, real-time matrix multiplications entirely offline. It natively projects complex quantum physics calculations onto a beautifully fluid, hardware-accelerated SwiftUI canvas without dropping a single frame. POWERFUL FUNCTIONALITY • Dynamic Circuit Canvas: Build complex quantum circuits using multiple qubits. Apply fundamental quantum logic gates including Hadamard (H), Pauli (X, Y, Z), Parametric Phase Shifts (Rx), Controlled-NOT (CX), and Measurement operations. • Interactive 3D Bloch Sphere: Visualize the invisible. Utilizing Apple’s native SceneKit framework, our 3D projector allows you to touch, drag, and rotate the Bloch sphere to intuitively understand qubit vector phases and superpositions in real-time. • Live Probability Distributions: As you build your circuit or drag parameters, the simulator instantly calculates the wave function and renders the exact probability distribution of your quantum states in a vibrant, responsive UI. • Hardware Noise Simulation (NISQ): Experience the reality of modern hardware. Use the dynamic noise slider to inject probabilistic decoherence and environmental noise into your gates, simulating how physical quantum computers actually behave. • Live OpenQASM 3.0 Generation: SQQuantum acts as a true developer tool. As you visually construct your circuit, the app simultaneously compiles industry-standard OpenQASM 3.0 code in a dedicated terminal pane. Copy it with one tap to export and run your exact circuit on real IBM or AWS quantum mainframes. • Instant Entanglement: Instantly load complex quantum phenomena like the Bell State (Quantum Entanglement) and GHZ State with a single tap. PRO iPadOS ARCHITECTURE SQQuantum intelligently adapts to your hardware. On the iPhone, it provides a sleek, highly readable, vertically scrollable interface. On the iPad, the UI transforms into a gorgeous, split-pane professional IDE—featuring a sprawling mathematical workspace on the left, a dedicated hardware inspector on the right, and a full-width code terminal pinned to the bottom. 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE Science requires focus, not tracking. SQQuantum is 100% offline. It requires zero account sign-ups, utilizes zero cloud processing, contains no advertisements, and collects absolutely zero user data. Your algorithms belong to you. Step into the mathematical fabric of the universe. Download SQQuantum Studio today and start building the future.
