C++17 Library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits

Tweedledum

A C++-17 header-only library for synthesizing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits.

The library is written to be scalable up to problem sizes in which quantum circuits outperform classical ones. Also, it is meant to be used both independently and alongside established tools for example compilers or more general and high level frameworks, e.g., IBM's QISKit, Rigetti's Forest, ProjectQ.

NOTE: The library is currently going through a major redesign. It is fair to say that it would be a completely new library by the time I am done with it, but I like the name.

The idea is to make it much more extensible. User will be able to come up with their own gates and mix them with the ones provided by the library. A circuit will be able to be a mixture of gates, unitary matrices, other circuits, and whatever you feel like adding to it. A truly multilevel representation.

Disclaimer

Tweedledum is in version Alpha. Hence, the software is still under active development and not feature complete, meaning the API is subject to big changes. This is released for developers or users who are comfortable living on the absolute bleeding edge.
