Azure Quantum Development Kit
Azure Quantum Development Kit
Azure Quantum Development Kit, including the Q# programming language, resource estimator, and Quantum Katas. The playground is a small website that loads the Q# editor, compiler, samples, katas, and documentation for the standard library. It's a way to manually validate any changes you make to these components. The easiest way to develop in this repo is to use VS Code. When you open the project root, by default VS Code will recommend you install the extensions listed in .vscode/extensions.json. These extensions provide language services for editing, as well as linters and formatters to ensure the code meets the requirements (which are checked by the build.py script and CI). -

Qiskit
Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers
Qiskit [kiss-kit] is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. When you are looking to start Qiskit, you have two options. You can start Qiskit locally, which is much more secure and private, or you get started with Jupyter Notebooks hosted in IBM Quantum Lab. Qiskit includes a comprehensive set of quantum gates and a variety of pre-built circuits so users at all levels can use Qiskit for research and application development. The transpiler translates Qiskit code into an optimized circuit using a backend’s native gate set, allowing users to program for any quantum processor or processor architecture with minimal inputs. Users can run and schedule jobs on real quantum processors, and employ Qiskit Runtime to orchestrate quantum programs on cloud-based CPUs, QPUs, and GPUs. -

PyQuil
A Python library for quantum programming using Quil
PyQuil is a Python library for quantum programming using Quil, the quantum instruction language developed at Rigetti Computing. PyQuil serves three main functions. PyQuil has a ton of other features, which you can learn more about in the docs. However, you can also keep reading below to get started with running your first quantum program. Without installing anything, you can quickly get started with quantum programming by exploring our interactive Jupyter Notebook tutorials and examples. To run them in a preconfigured execution environment on Binder, click the "launch binder" badge at the top of the README or the link here! To learn more about the tutorials and how you can add your own, visit the rigetti/forest-tutorials repository. If you'd rather set everything up locally, or are interested in contributing to pyQuil, continue to the next section for instructions on installing pyQuil and the Forest SDK. -

OpenFermion is an open source library for compiling and analyzing quantum algorithms to simulate fermionic systems, including quantum chemistry. Among other functionalities, this version features data structures and tools for obtaining and manipulating representations of fermionic and qubit Hamiltonians. For more information, see our release paper. Currently, OpenFermion is tested on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We recommend using Mac or Linux because the electronic structure plugins are only compatible on these platforms. However, for those who would like to use Windows, or for anyone having other difficulties with installing OpenFermion or its plugins, we have provided a Docker image and usage instructions in the docker folder. The Docker image provides a virtual environment with OpenFermion and select plugins pre-installed. The Docker installation should run on any operating system. -
