IBM opens Qiskit to C, Fortran, and Julia developers
IBM is making its open-source quantum computing platform, Qiskit, accessible from C, Fortran, and Julia, not just Python. Researchers using high-performance computing for things like simulation or modeling can now run quantum circuits directly inside their existing classic code—no need for Python in the middle. This should make quantum-classical hybrid programs smoother and faster for scientists.
- Qiskit adds native C API for Fortran, C++, Julia use
- No Python or interpreter overhead needed
- Enables direct hybrid quantum-classical workflows
- Bindings are fully interoperable between languages
