cuquantum-cu12 25.3.0

NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK

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.

Note

This package is a “meta”-package – installing it will install, cudensitymat-cuXX, custatevec-cuXX and cutensornet-cuXX that are released in the installed cuQuantum SDK version.

Future support for CUDA 11 will be deprecated in the next release when support for CUDA 13 is added.

To use cuQuantum’s Python APIs, please directly install cuQuantum Python.
