This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
This is a development version of Cirq and may be unstable.
For the latest stable release of Cirq see here.
Cirq is a Python library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits and running them against quantum computers and simulators.
Installation and Documentation
Cirq documentation is available at quantumai.google/cirq.
Documentation for the latest pre-release version of cirq (tracks the repository’s main branch; what you get if you pip install cirq~=1.0.dev), is available here.
Documentation for the latest stable version of cirq (what you get if you pip install cirq) is available here.

Hello Qubit
A simple example to get you up and running:
import cirq
# Pick a qubit.
qubit = cirq.GridQubit(0, 0)
# Create a circuit
circuit = cirq.Circuit(
cirq.X(qubit)**0.5, # Square root of NOT.
cirq.measure(qubit, key='m') # Measurement.
)
print("Circuit:")
print(circuit)
# Simulate the circuit several times.
simulator = cirq.Simulator()
result = simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=20)
print("Results:")
print(result)Example output:
Circuit:
(0, 0): ───X^0.5───M('m')───
