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 five major components:

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

• cuPauliProp: a high-performance library for Pauli propagation quantum simulators

• cuStabilizer: a high-performance library for stabilizer quantum simulators

• 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 12 and 13 are supported). We encourage users to install package with the -cuXX suffix;

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.

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