Early access programme
Shape quantum software with us, before it ships
For hardware makers, HPC centres, research teams and technology companies that want to build with SoftQuantus on QCOS, QuantumLock and Softquantus Cloud, with named engineers from the first call.

How it works
A working partnership, not a waiting list
Early access is a joint project with a shared plan. Both sides know who does what, by when, and on which terms.
- 01Named contactsOne SoftQuantus engineer and one partnerships lead, from the first call to the review.
- 02A shared planA written scope with the workloads, the milestones and what each side delivers.
- 03Terms per engagementAccess, confidentiality and commercial terms are agreed in writing for each engagement.

Four tracks
Choose the track that fits your company
Each track starts the same way, with a scoping call. What you build together depends on what you bring.
Quantum hardware makersPut your machine behind QCOS
Work with us on connecting your quantum computer to QCOS. Every computer is reached through Softquantus Cloud, and nothing is connected without a written agreement.
- A connection plan through Softquantus Cloud
- Benchmark circuits agreed with your team
- Results kept as sealed QCOS records
HPC centresBring quantum jobs into your users' batch work
Plan with us how your users write QCOS jobs into the batch scripts and allocations they already know.
- SLURM, PBS Pro and LSF job scripts
- Access keys and plan limits for your users
- Hybrid or air-gapped set-up on request
Research and enterprise R&DBring a research question and a workload
We scope the workload with your team, run it through QCOS and keep every run on the record.
- A scoped workload and a measure of success
- Simulation runs through QCOS
- Sealed records you can verify offline
Technology partnersBuild QCOS or QuantumLock into your product
Use the same interfaces our own tools use, with an engineer who knows them.
- Python SDK and softqcos CLI
- MCP server and REST API
- QuantumLock licensing for your own software
