pytket-qulacs

Qulacs is an optimized quantum circuit simulator.

pytket-qulacs is an extension to pytket that allows pytket circuits to be simulated using qulacs.

pytket-qulacs is available for Python 3.10 and 3.11 on Linux, MacOS and Windows. To install, run:

pip install pytket-qulacs

GPU acceleration

To use the QulacsGPUBackend, which can take advantage of a CUDA-enabled GPU on your machine for faster simulation, it is necessary to first install the CUDA toolset. For platform-specific instructions on how to do this, see:

• Linux

• MacOS

• Windows

Afterwards, install qulacs-gpu:

pip install qulacs-gpu

The QulacsGPUBackend has an identical API to the QulacsBackend.
