Briefings

Eclipse Qrisp, an open-source quantum programming framework initiated by Fraunhofer FOKUS, won the 2026 Quantum Effects Award for its ability to abstract quantum programming into high-level constructs. The framework, built on Python, compiles algorithms into optimized circuits for various quantum backends including NVIDIA CUDA-Q. It supports hybrid quantum-classical computing and contributes to the SecQDevOps project, with a community day scheduled for October 29, 2026. The award recognized innovation in making quantum systems practical to program.

Key points

• Eclipse Qrisp, initiated by Fraunhofer FOKUS, won the 2026 Quantum Effects Award for its open-source quantum programming framework that abstracts quantum algorithms into high-level constructs.
• The framework supports hybrid quantum-classical computing and integrates with NVIDIA CUDA-Q, enabling developers to focus on algorithm design while the compiler manages circuit construction and resource management.

Context and limitations

The award was presented at the Quantum Effects conference held 6-7 October 2026 in Stuttgart, Germany. The evidence covers the announcement and framework capabilities but does not include specific performance benchmarks, user adoption metrics, or long-term adoption forecasts.
