NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK

Project description

NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK is a set of high-performance libraries and tools for accelerating quantum computing simulations at both the circuit and device level by orders of magnitude. It consists of three major components:

  • cuDensityMat: a high-performance library for quantum dynamics equation solvers

  • cuStateVec: a high-performance library for state vector quantum simulators

  • cuTensorNet: a high-performance library for tensor network computations

In addition to C APIs, cuQuantum also provides Python APIs via cuQuantum Python.

Documentation

Please refer to https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuquantum/index.html for the cuQuantum documentation.

Installation

The cuQuantum wheel can be installed as follows:

pip install cuquantum-cuXX

where XX is the CUDA major version (currently CUDA 11 and 12 are supported). We encourage users to install package with the -cuXX suffix; the package cuquantum (without the -cuXX suffix) currently points to cuquantum-cu11, this behavior will change in the next release, moving from cu11 to cu12.
