What is Q-Sylvan?

License CI testing

Q-Sylvan is a quantum circuit simulator where the quantum states (and gates/sub-circuits) are stored as decision diagrams. The benefit of these decision diagrams is that they often use much less memory than encoding the corresponding vectors and matrices as arrays. Q-Sylvan is currently still in beta.

Getting started

Installation instructions and examples can be found on the main GitHub page.

Documentation

Currently, beta versions of a QASM and C interface are available. Interfaces for Python and C++ are planned.
