qSimulator

Quantum computer simulator

QSimulator can model the behavior of quantum circuits, which are composed of quantum gates and qubits. Simulator aim to accurately emulate the probabilistic and superpositional characteristics of quantum mechanics. It simulates the evolution of qubits through quantum gates, taking into account entanglement and interference effects.

The simulator is convinient to test and debug quantum algorithms before implementing them on actual quantum hardware. This saves time and resources while ensuring the algorithms are well-optimized.

As an example of using the simulator, the Shore algorithm is implemented.

Directory structure

• CMakeLists.txt cmake project files
• include/ header files (*.h)
• src/ source files (*.cpp)
• test/ test files (*.cpp)
• samples/ examples of using the functionality (*.cpp)

Cloning the project

Use git clone --recursive ... to download the project and its git submodules. Otherwise from the project root repository one needs to download the submodules: git submodule update --init.

Building the project

1. Creating the executables follows standard cmake procedure:

cmake -B build

2. Compile the code:

cmake --build build

3. Run executable:

./build/bin/shor_sample

to run sample or

./build/bin/tests

to run unit tests
