description Particle tracking in physical systems is a well known simulation challenge in many domains. In particular, High Energy Physics (HEP) demand efficient simulations of charged particles moving throughout complex detector geometries in a magnetic field. Quantized State Systems (QSS) is a modern family of hybrid numerical methods that provides attractive performance features for these problems. Its state-of-the-art implementation is the general-purpose QSS Solver toolkit. Meanwhile, Geant4 is the most widely used platform for computational particle physics, embedding vast amounts of physics domain knowledge.

In this work we present a robust co-simulation technique to apply QSS in the simulation of HEP experiments, thus leveraging the best of both toolkits.
