(Munich, August 28, 2025) QCHALLenge-FW is an open-source framework for simplified modeling of quantum-inspired industrial applications. With just a few commands, the software can be set up via Conda or the interactive installer – flexibly, depending on the use case. Several end-to-end examples, ranging from data generation to modeling and visualization, demonstrate the use cases covered in QCHALLenge, including production assignment scheduling, sensor positioning, autocarrier loading, modular production logistics, and train routing.

Thanks to the modular architecture, users can not only execute existing use cases, but also add their own problems and integrate them seamlessly into the workflow. Whether optimization, simulation, or evaluation—all central functions are already available as modules.

Special thanks go to Dr. Peter Limacher (SAP) and Nico Kraus (Aqarios GmbH) for designing and developing the framework. More details can be found in the official Github repository.
