QuantumFlow: A Quantum Algorithms Development Toolkit v0.7
Announcing QuantumFlow, a python package that emulates a gate based quantum computer using modern optimized tensor libraries (numpy, TensorFlow, or torch). The TensorFlow backend can calculate the analytic gradient of a quantum circuit with respect to the circuit’s parameters, and circuits can be optimized to perform a function using (stochastic) gradient descent. The torch backend can accelerate the quantum simulation using commodity classical GPUs.
Various other features include quantum circuits, circuit visualization, noisy quantum operations, gate decompositions, sundry metrics and measures, and an interface to Rigetti’s Forest infrastructure.
