This paper describes QDsim, a parallel application designed to compute the quantum concurrence by calculating the Wootters correlation of a quantum system. The system is based on a two-level two quantum dots inside a resonant cavity. A Beowulf-like cluster was used for running QDsim. The application was developed using open, portable and scalable software and can be controlled via a GUI client from a remote terminal over either the Internet or a local network. A serial version and three parallel models (shared memory, distributed memory and hybrid –distributed/shared memory) using two different partitioning schemes were implemented to assess their performance. Results showed that the hybrid model approach using domain decomposition achieves the highest performance (12.2
X
speedup in front of the sequential version) followed by the distributed memory model (6.6
X
speedup). In both cases, the numerical error is within 1×10
− 4
, which is accurate enough for estimating the correlation trend.
