qat.pylinalg.simulator

The actual numpy-based simulation code can be accessed in the qat.pylinalg.simulator module, which source code is documented here.

qat.pylinalg.simulator.simulate()

Simulate a provided circuit

Note

qat.pylinalg.simulator.simulate() mainly consists in a for loop over the ops attribute of the input Circuit, i.e the gates of the circuit. They are successively applied onto the quantum state, which starts in \(|0...0\rangle\). A gate can be of several types:

GATETYPE (default)

MEASURE (measure some qubits, store the result)

RESET (measure a qubit, if result is 1, apply X onto it)

CLASSIC (perform classical logical computation on classical bits)

CLASSICCTRL (perform classically controlled quantum gate)

BREAK (raise break exception if a clasical formula is evaluated to True)

circuit.ops is a list of qat.comm.datamodel.ttypes.Op.
