MQT DDSIM - A quantum circuit simulator based on decision diagrams written in C++
A tool for classical quantum circuit simulation developed as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich. It builds upon MQT Core, which forms the backbone of the MQT.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via [email protected] or by creating an issue on GitHub.
DDSIM bundled with the provider and backends for Qiskit is available via PyPI for Linux, macOS, and Windows and supports Python 3.8 to 3.12.
(venv) $ pip install mqt.ddsim
The following code gives an example on the usage:
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from mqt import ddsim
circ = QuantumCircuit(3)
circ.h(0)
circ.cx(0, 1)
circ.cx(0, 2)
print(circ.draw(fold=-1))
backend = ddsim.DDSIMProvider().get_backend("qasm_simulator")
job = backend.run(circ, shots=10000)
counts = job.result().get_counts(circ)
print(counts)
Detailed documentation on all available methods, options, and input formats is available at ReadTheDocs.
The implementation is compatible with any C++17 compiler and a minimum CMake version of 3.19. Please refer to the documentation on how to build the project.
Building (and running) is continuously tested under Linux, macOS, and Windows using the latest available system versions for GitHub Actions.
DDSIM has been developed based on methods proposed in the following papers:
The Munich Quantum Toolkit has been supported by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement No. 101001318), the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Arts through the Distinguished Professorship Program, as well as the Munich Quantum Valley, which is supported by the Bavarian state government with funds from the Hightech Agenda Bayern Plus.
