QCC

Quantum Cross Compiler, a tool for building and simulating quantum circuits and allowing translation across several platforms.

This is an alpha build. Please submit issues to this repository.

Features

1. Build quantum circuits

   QCC lets you build quantum circuits with a clean, easy to learn graphical interface. You can select gates from the gate library, and then solder them onto the board using the solder tool.

2. Compile

   Once you have a quantum circuit designed in the board, you can open the file menu and select Export to compile to one of several quantum assembly languages. Currently supported are QUIL and openQASM; Quipper is currently on hold.

3. Decompile If you have code in a quantum assembly language, QCC can load it into a circuit board representation using the Import feature.

4. Execute

   QCC can execute your code in two ways. One, with an external backend such as PyQUIL or qiskit, and two, with it's own quantum simulator.

Advanced Features

1. Quantum Walk

   QCC provides several methods for creating custom quantum gates, and one of these is a quantum walk. This allows for performing continuous-time computation in a quantum circuit!

2. Debugger

   Currently in progress. Will allow you to set breakpoints in the circuit, and view the state at that point in execution with the simulator.

Dependencies:

1. Depends on code from NIST's JAMA library.
