Chicago, IL – April 22, 2026 – We are excited to welcome Kvantify Qrunch to qBraid Lab. Qrunch is a production grade quantum chemistry toolkit built by the team at Kvantify in Copenhagen, and it is now available to the 28,000+ developers, researchers, and enterprise teams building on qBraid.
What Qrunch Brings to qBraid Lab
Qrunch is designed to tackle molecular systems that push past the limits of classical computation. It pairs hybrid quantum classical algorithms with efficient active space methods so that quantum chemistry workflows can be prototyped, scaled, and run against real hardware from a single environment.
Inside qBraid Lab, that means Qrunch sits alongside the rest of the quantum stack. Developers can move from algorithm design to execution on QPUs from IBM, IonQ, Rigetti, QuEra, Atom Computing, AQT, and Microsoft without leaving the notebook. Environments come preconfigured, dependencies are resolved, and results stay reproducible.
Five Tutorials to Start With
Kvantify has shipped a set of tutorials that run out of the box in qBraid Lab. Each one is grounded in a real application area where quantum chemistry has near term commercial relevance.
- Butyronitrile dissociation. Study C≡N bond breaking in butyronitrile using variational algorithms to approximate ground state energies. Directly relevant to lithium ion batteries and solar cell materials.
- Carbon capture with COF-999. Model CO2 binding inside one of the most promising carbon capture frameworks and analyze how water modulates transition state energy across reaction pathways.
- Covalent ligand binding. Simulate protein ligand binding using the BEAST VQE algorithm, which supports larger active space calculations through efficient qubit mappings. A window into how quantum chemistry can inform drug discovery workflows.
- Dehalogenase reaction (SN2). Investigate enzyme catalyzed degradation of haloalkanes, with direct applications in bioremediation.
- Ionization potentials. Compute ionization energies for molecules such as ammonia through variational methods, comparing neutral and ionized states.
Why It Matters
qBraid’s job is to make quantum computing usable. That means meeting developers where they are, removing infrastructure friction, and pulling the best tools in the ecosystem onto a single platform. Qrunch is a natural fit. The Kvantify team has built deep domain expertise in quantum chemistry, and qBraid Lab gives their users a faster on ramp and access to a broader set of quantum backends.
For qBraid users, the value is concrete. Chemistry teams can prototype workflows faster, compare results across hardware modalities, and move from tutorial code to production research without rebuilding their environment. For enterprise teams evaluating quantum for real problems in materials, energy, and life sciences, this adds another credible path from research question to quantum execution.
