Currently a wide variety of quantum simulators are available, both freely
and as commercial efforts.  In a research setting, it is useful to have an
awareness of what is available to avoid duplication of effort.

A short survey of tools and methods for simulating quantum computation on a 
classical computer will presented.  Different simulators have different 
target audiences, and this influences their design decisions.  The strengths
and weaknesses of several simulators will also be highlighted.
