About Perceval
Perceval is an open-source quantum photonic development toolkit developed by Quandela that offers a Python-based framework for simulating, designing, and experimenting with photonic quantum circuits and algorithms. Through a simple object-oriented Python API, Perceval provides tools for composing circuits from linear optical components, defining single-photon sources, manipulating Fock states, running simulations, and experimenting with new quantum algorithms. Interfaced with QPUs on Quandela cloud, enabling computations on actual photonic computers. In 2024, EuroHPC JU selected Quandela consortium for EuroQCS-France initiative, providing remote access to 12-qubit photonic quantum computer. Published in Quantum journal as open-source platform for discrete-variable photonic quantum computers. Partnership with OVHcloud makes Perceval available for developers to run quantum algorithms by simulating optical processors on OVH Cloud.
2025 Developments: The company continues to enhance its quantum software platform and developer tools in 2025. Focus remains on improving algorithm efficiency and expanding use case applications. Active engagement with the quantum developer community drives product evolution.
