QDE (Quantum Development Environment)¶

QDE is the world's first integrated development environment dedicated to fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). It provides a complete environment for quantum algorithm development, resource estimation, and analysis.

Development Interfaces¶

QDE offers two powerful development interfaces:

VS Code: Full-featured code editor with integrated Git support
Jupyter Lab: Interactive notebook environment for exploratory development and analysis

Integrated Libraries¶

QDE comes pre-installed with essential quantum computing libraries:

Workbench: Core FTQC programming capabilities
Workbench Algorithms: Including Qubricks for quantum algorithm development
QRE Engine (Bartiq): For quantum resource estimation
Common open source FTQC libraries: Supporting general quantum computing development

Key Features¶

Seamless integration with Construct's project system
Built-in Git version control
Access to GenAI assistance for development
Fully managed computational resources for simulation
Integrated resource estimation tools

Integration with Construct¶

QDE is fully integrated with Construct's project system:

Direct access to project files and resources
Automatic version control through Git backend
Seamless workflow between Circuit Designer and Resource Analyzer
Shared project context across all tools
