If you can write it down,
Quicopt can optimize it.
A cost function with a kink, an average across 1000 scenarios: Quicopt optimizes both as written, without any reformulation.
import numpy as np
import pyomo.environ as pyo
from quicopt import Client
# N binary variables, QUBO matrix Q — given
m = pyo.ConcreteModel()
m.x = pyo.Var(range(N), domain=pyo.Binary)
x = np.array([m.x[i] for i in range(N)])
m.obj = pyo.Objective(expr=x @ Q @ x, sense=pyo.minimize)
client = Client() # the free tier, no signup
result = client.solve(m)
result.objective # minimized xᵀQxusing QuicoptClient, JuMP
# N binary variables, QUBO matrix Q — given
m = Model()
@variable(m, x[1:N], Bin)
@objective(m, Min, x' * Q * x)
result = solve(m) # the free tier, no signup
result.objective # minimized xᵀQxrequire "quicopt"
# N binary variables, QUBO matrix Q — given
m = Quicopt::Model.new
x = Array.new(N) { |i| m.bin_var("x#{i}") }
pairs = (0...N).to_a.product((0...N).to_a)
m.minimize(pairs.sum { |i, j| Q[i][j] * x[i] * x[j] })
client = Quicopt::Client.new # the free tier, no signup
result = client.solve(m)
result.objective # minimized xᵀQxWhere Quicopt wins.
LPs, MILPs and convex QPs scale to millions of variables, so size is rarely what stops you. Structure is: a cost with a kink in it, or a number only a simulator can give you. Quicopt takes those as written.
Optimization under uncertainty
You have to decide before you know what demand will be. Quicopt optimizes against the whole range of what could happen, instead of one forecast that turns out wrong. On a shared-shelf inventory problem that cut cost by about 24%.
Higher-order, non-convex objectives
Degree-3+ polynomials and non-smooth logic don’t fit MILP/MIQP solvers natively. They require either massive auxiliary-variable reformulations or piecewise approximations that quietly change the problem. Quicopt solves the original objective directly.
Black-box objectives
When cost comes from a simulator, digital twin, or ERP model rather than a formula, gradients and branch-and-bound proofs don’t apply at all. Quicopt works from input–output evaluations.
Nothing to set up
pip install, one API: no auth, no email, no OR team, no enterprise procurement. First solve in minutes.

How Quicopt works
Problem modeling
Writing the model is where the judgement goes, and where most teams get stuck. Do it yourself, or we do it with you. Either way, the model you end up with is the one that runs.
Solving
Our algorithms run on standard hardware. Full performance today.
Integration & Output
Results via REST API, CSV or directly into your ERP. No black box. Full traceability.
Self-Serve & Scale
pip install and start free. No auth, no email for a limited time. Pay only for what you solve, from laptop to production.
Where others give up, Quicopt starts.
“Quicopt lets our customers work in a whole new way. That’s worth a great deal.”
Benchmarks
Head-to-head results on hard, public problems: measured, reproducible, and run on standard hardware.
Build with Quicopt
A free developer API, no signup, no key management.
Build a standard Pyomo or OR-Tools MathOpt model in Python, and hand it to a single solve() call. Your first request sets up a free API key automatically. Docs, runnable examples, and the full client reference live in the Developer Hub.
- ✓ No signup, your first call sets up a key
- ✓ Model in Pyomo or OR-Tools MathOpt
All three clients are open source under Apache-2.0. Read the code on GitHub →

Our Origin
Founded on decades of research excellence in mathematical optimization.
Quicopt is a spin-off from Forschungszentrum Jülich, one of Europe’s largest interdisciplinary research centers. Backed by Helmholtz Enterprise, we translate cutting-edge research into industrial-grade optimization solutions.
Our team combines deep expertise in quantum computing, mathematical optimization, and high-performance computing. We deliver algorithms that are not just theoretically sound, but proven in real-world applications.
