The Eclipse Foundation said Eclipse Qrisp, an open source framework for high-level quantum programming, won the Quantum Effects Award 2026 in the Quantum Computing Software & Algorithms category. The award recognized Eclipse Qrisp after selection by an international jury.

The companies described the programming challenge as a need to make sophisticated quantum systems practical to program. The framework was presented as moving quantum programming up the software stack and supporting execution across different quantum computing environments.

Eclipse Qrisp runs on Python and lets developers express complex quantum algorithms using constructs such as variables, functions, and control flow. The framework compiled programs into optimized quantum circuits for execution, including support for hybrid quantum-classical computing through JAX and targeting different quantum computing backends.

Qrisp abstracted complexity associated with working directly with individual qubits and gates through typed quantum variables, functions, automatic memory management, and control flow. The framework also connected its programming model with CUDA-Q via NVIDIA CUDA-Q. Michael Plagge, Chief Membership Officer at the Eclipse Foundation, said, “Realizing the potential of quantum computing depends on making increasingly sophisticated systems practical to program,” said Michael Plagge, Chief Membership Officer at the Eclipse Foundation. “Developers should not have to think about every individual gate operation any more than modern software developers think about individual processor instructions. Eclipse Qrisp raises the level of abstraction, enabling developers to focus on the algorithm while the compiler manages much of the underlying complexity. This award is tremendous recognition for Fraunhofer FOKUS and the Eclipse Qrisp community.” The Quantum Effects Award was presented 6-7 October 2026 at Messe Stuttgart in Germany, and Eclipse Qrisp also contributed to SecQDevOps, a Horizon Europe project exploring how security, testing, compliance, and DevOps practices could integrate across quantum software and hardware development.
