IBM Expands Qiskit to C++, Fortran and Julia
Original: IBM Expands Qiskit Beyond Python with Native C API Bindings for Fortran, C++, and Julia
IBM has extended its open-source quantum programming framework Qiskit beyond Python by introducing native C API bindings for C++, Fortran and Julia. The move lets developers working in scientific and high-performance computing languages build quantum applications directly, without routing everything through Python. It is being seen as a step toward broader adoption of quantum computing in traditional HPC environments.
Why now: The expansion makes quantum development accessible to the large HPC and scientific computing communities that rely on compiled languages rather than Python.
