Package & Installation
Package File: qector-workbench_3.5.1_amd64.deb
Quick Start:
- Install the Debian package:
sudo dpkg -i qector-workbench_3.5.1_amd64.deb(Alternatively:
sudo apt install ./qector-workbench_3.5.1_amd64.deb)Launch the application:
qector-workbenchLaunch the MCP Server (AI agents):
qector-workbench --mcp
System Requirements
- OS: 64-bit Linux x86_64 (glibc >= 2.30; Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Linux Mint 20+, Fedora 32+, openSUSE Leap 15.3+, Arch, etc.)
- Runtime: Python 3.10+ and
python3-pip(required for backend auto-provisioning) - Memory: 4 GB minimum (8 GB recommended)
- Disk Space: ~150 MB
- Network: Internet required only on first launch to download the backend from PyPI (subsequent runs operate 100% offline)
Key Features
- Interactive GUI: 7 feature tabs (Code Explorer, Decoder Lab, Benchmark Suite, Batch & Streaming, Hardware & System, Diagnostics, Documentation Studio) plus a live colored log console.
- 13 Decoders: Includes Union-Find, Fast Union-Find, Blossom (exact MWPM), Sparse Blossom, BP-OSD, Belief Matching, GNN Belief Matching, Hybrid Cascade, Auto, Predecoded, Lookup Table, and Auto-Router.
- 9 Code Families: Covers graph-like codes (repetition, ring, rotated surface, unrotated surface, toric, heavy-hex, hypergraph product) and qLDPC codes (bicycle, bivariate bicycle).
- Publication-Grade Documentation: Multi-format exports (MD, JSON, HTML, LaTeX, PDF, SVG) with embedded provenance metadata.
- 47-Tool MCP Server: Native stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 integration for Claude, GPT, Copilot, or custom AI agents.
- Automatic Provisioning & Self-Healing: Automatically fetches
qector-decoder-v3from PyPI into an isolated per-user site directory on first run and auto-recovers if corrupted.
Licensing
- Workbench (Application): Covered under EULA.txt. Royalty-free worldwide license for any purpose (including commercial) as long as embedded QECTOR notices are retained.
- Backend (qector-decoder-v3): Separately licensed Rust/Python platform. Free for personal, academic, educational, and non-commercial research. Commercial use requires a paid license (a 60-day commercial evaluation is available at
