  • It enables the researchers and students to carryout research in Quantum computing in a cost effective manner.
  • Developed collaboratively by IISc Bangalore, IIT Roorkee and C-DAC with the support of MeitY under the ‘Design and Development of Quantum Computer Toolkit (Simulator, Workbench) & Capacity Building’ project.
  • Features – QSim offers a QC Simulator integrated with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) based Workbench allowing people to create Quantum programs.
  • QSim helps simulate Quantum circuits with and without noise and test how well various algorithms work with imperfect quantum components.
  • It has pre-loaded Quantum programs and algorithms providing a head start to the users.
  • QSim – Offering Model
    • PARAM SHAVAK QSim – Standalone system with Quantum Simulator in a box
    • PARAM QSim Cloud – Available on cloud using HPC infrastructure PARAM SIDDHI AI (developed under NSM program).
