qforge 0.2.0

End-to-end quantum simulation toolkit from qubit physics to hardware design

QForge: Quantum Simulation Toolkit

QForge is a comprehensive, terminal-based quantum simulation toolkit that bridges qubit physics to hardware design. Built for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned quantum computing researchers.

🚀 Features

✅ Fully Implemented

• Qubit Physics Modeling: Transmon, Fluxonium, Flux, Zero-π with pre-configured parameters
• Gate Physics Simulation: Time-domain simulation of single-qubit gates (X, Y, Z, H) using QuTiP dynamics.
• Terminal Plotting: Visualize energy spectra and Rabi oscillations directly in your terminal.
• Comprehensive Analysis: Energy spectra, coherence times (T1, T2), parameter sweeps.
• Realistic Noise Modeling: Accurate coherence time estimates and relaxation dynamics.
• Interactive CLI: Beginner-friendly wizards with auto-completions and rich visualizations.
• Comparison Engine: Compare different qubit architectures side-by-side.

🚧 Coming Soon

• Circuit Simulation: Multi-qubit circuit simulation with Qiskit
• Hardware Design: Chip layout design with Qiskit Metal
• Plugin Architecture: Extensible system for custom qubits and components

📦 Installation

pip install qforge

Development Installation

git clone https://github.com/Ingenio17/qforge.git
cd qforge
pip install -e ".[dev]"

🎯 Quick Start

Interactive Mode (Recommended)

qforge --interactive

1. Create a Qubit

qforge qubit create transmon --name my_qubit --EJ 15 --EC 0.3

2. Analyze Spectrum

View energy levels directly in your terminal:

qforge qubit analyze --name my_qubit --plot

3. Simulate a Gate

Simulate a $\pi$-pulse (X gate) and view Rabi oscillations:

qforge gate simulate --qubit my_qubit --gate X --duration 40 --save
