QCGPU
Open Source, High Performance & Hardware Accelerated - Quantum Computer Simulation Library
The goal of QCGPU is to provide a library for the simulation of
quantum computers that is fast, efficient and portable.
QCGPU is written in Rust and uses OpenCL to run code on the CPU, GPU or any other OpenCL supported devices.
This library is meant to be used both independently and alongside
established tools for example compilers or more general and high level frameworks.
If you are interested in using QCGPU with IBM's [QISKit](http://qiskit.org/)
framework or [QISKit ACQUA](https://qiskit.org/acqua/), please see
the repository [qiskit-addon-qcgpu](https://github.com/qcgpu/qiskit-addon-qcgpu).
## Prerequisites
To use this library, you will need two things:
* OpenCL (Ensure that an OpenCL library is installed for your platform and that `clinfo` or some other diagnostic command will run).
* Rust (install [here](https://www.rustup.rs)). Please use a nightly build.
## Usage
First, add the crate to `cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
qcgpu = 1.0.0
```
Then use the crate!
```rust
extern crate qcgpu;
use qcgpu::State;
fn main() {
let mut state = State::new(2, 0).unwrap();
state.x(0);
println!("Measured: {}", state.measure().unwrap());
// 1
}
```
