MQT YAQS: A Tool for Simulating Open Quantum Systems, Noisy Quantum Circuits, and Realistic Quantum Hardware

YAQS (pronounced "yaks" like the animals) is a Python library, primarily focused on simulating open quantum systems, noisy quantum circuits, and designing realistic quantum hardware.

If you have any questions, feel free to create a discussion or an issue on GitHub.

Features

• Simulation of Open Quantum Systems (Analog Simulation): Simulate large-scale open quantum systems with a paralellized implementation using the Tensor Jump Method (TJM) (Large-scale stochastic simulation of open quantum systems)
• Noisy Quantum Circuit Simulation (Digital Simulation): Investigate the effect of noise on large quantum circuits (Quantum circuit simulation with a local time-dependent variational principle)
• Equivalence Checking of Quantum Circuits: Check the equivalence or non-equivalence of quantum circuits with a scalable MPO-based method (Equivalence Checking of Quantum Circuits via Intermediary Matrix Product Operator)

Detailed documentation and examples are available at ReadTheDocs.

Upcoming Features (Check back soon)

• WIP: Quantum Hardware Design: Design better quantum hardware with realistic simulation methods

Contributors and Supporters

The Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) is developed by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich and supported by the Munich Quantum Software Company (MQSC). Among others, it is part of the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS) ecosystem, which is being developed as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) initiative.

Thank you to all the contributors who have helped make MQT YAQS a reality!
