HQS Quantum Simulations says it develops software solutions for science and industry using quantum-level models of molecules and materials. Its website presents the company as focused on spectroscopy and NMR analysis, with products including HQSpectrum and HQStage, and it also references quantum simulation software such as qoqo and the HQS Noise App.
The company states that it was founded in 2017 by four physicists from Karlsruher Institute of Technology and has grown to more than 40 employees. Its timeline lists a €2.3 million seed financing round in 2019, the launch of qoqo in 2021, HQS Noise App in 2022, HQStage in 2024, and an EIC Transition grant in 2025 for HQS-NextNMR. The homepage also ties its work to quantum computing for spectroscopy, arguing that NMR is a practical route for quantum simulation and future quantum advantage.
