QuState/spinoza

A High Performance Quantum State Simulator implemented in pure Rust

Spinoza is a fast and flexible quantum simulator written exclusively in Rust, with bindings available for Python users. Spinoza simulates the evolution of a quantum system’s state by applying quantum gates, with the core design principle being that a single-qubit gate applied to a target qubit preserves the probability of pairs of amplitudes corresponding to measurement outcomes that differ only in the target qubit. Spinoza is intended to enable the development of quantum computing solutions by offering researchers and quantum developers a simple, flexible, and fast tool for classical simulation. For more information, please see the accompanying paper.
