The mathematical optimization solver
for every problem class.

10× simpler, 10× faster. One API for every problem class: LP, QP, MILP, MINLP, QUBO, PUBO and NLP today, more on the way. No auth, no email. Free for a limited time.

qubo.py
import numpy as np
from ortools.math_opt.python import mathopt
from quicopt import Client

# N binary variables, QUBO matrix Q — given
model = mathopt.Model()
x = np.array([model.add_binary_variable() for _ in range(N)])
model.minimize(x @ Q @ x)

client = Client("https://try.quicoptapi.pgi.fz-juelich.de")
result = client.solve(model) # one call — no signup, no license file
result.objective              # minimized xᵀQx

Where Quicopt wins.

LPs, MILPs, and convex QPs scale to millions of variables. The wall isn’t size, it’s structure: implicit Hessians, higher-order non-convex objectives, costs from a simulator. Quicopt handles them, through one simple pip install.

Implicit or dense Hessians

Smooth NLPs where Newton-class solvers stall, because the KKT system is too dense to factor, fills in catastrophically, or is only reachable through a simulator or learned model. Quicopt is purely first-order: gradients only, no Hessian, no factorization.

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.

Where Quicopt earns its place.

Four application areas where the structural advantages above translate directly into faster, sharper solutions.

Electronics & EMS

Multi-supplier BOM with thousands of parts and volume-tier pricing. Quicopt's domain-specific presolve exploits the natural structure of sourcing problems (BOM hierarchy, demand independence, supplier overlap) to shrink the search space dramatically before solving. On our active pilot: 70× faster than CP-SAT.

Power systems

AC optimal power flow is non-convex by physics: sinusoidal power-flow equations break QP relaxations. Grid topology optimization adds binary switch decisions, making the problem MINLP even in the DC linearization. Quicopt handles both natively, with no convex relaxation.

Process & metals

Blending, pooling, and recipe optimization with bilinear or higher-order terms: concentration × flow, yield × throughput, alloy composition. Exact global solvers (BARON, SCIP, Couenne) prove optimality on small instances but scale poorly; Quicopt delivers high-quality primal solutions on full-plant models in seconds.

QUBO, PUBO & HUBO

Binary optimization of arbitrary polynomial degree: the problem class quantum computers are built for. Quicopt solves QUBO, PUBO and HUBO directly: no reduction of higher-order terms to quadratic, no auxiliary-variable blow-up. A classical alternative to a quantum computer, and it runs on a laptop.
