Introduction

Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC) from Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems with continuous solution spaces. The EQC device series developed by QCi utilizes this form of computing to provide a photonic computing optimzation solver. The eqc-direct Python package provides a framework for direct integration to use and monitor these powerful devices.

Installation

Python package is availble from PyPI repository and can be installed by:

  • pip install eqc-direct
