We introduce ProjectQ, an open source software effort for quantum computing.The first release features a compiler framework capable of targeting various types of hardware, a high-performance simulator with emulation capabilities, and compiler plug-ins for circuit drawing and resource virginia mill works tobacco road acacia estimation.We introduce our Python-embedded domain-specific language, present the features, and provide example implementations for quantum algorithms.The framework allows testing of quantum algorithms through simulation and enables running them on actual quantum hardware using a back-end connecting to the IBM Quantum Experience cloud service.
Through extension mechanisms, users can provide back-ends to further quantum hardware, and scientists lock shock and barrel art working on quantum compilation can provide plug-ins for additional compilation, optimization, gate synthesis, and layout strategies.
