Covalent is a Pythonic workflow tool for computational scientists, AI/ML software engineers, and anyone who needs to run experiments on limited or expensive computing resources including quantum computers, HPC clusters, GPU arrays, and cloud services.
Covalent enables a researcher to run computation tasks on an advanced hardware platform – such as a quantum computer or serverless HPC cluster – using a single line of code.
