QuIDDPro: High-Performance
Quantum Circuit Simulation


QuIDDPro is a fast, scalable, and easy-to-use computational interface for generic quantum circuit simulation. It supports state vectors, density matrices, and related operations using the Quantum Information Decision Diagram (QuIDD) datastructure [3, 4, 5]. Software packages including Matlab, Octave, QCSim [6], and libquantum [7], have also been used to simulate quantum circuits. However, unlike these packages, QuIDDPro does not always suffer from the exponential blow-up in size of the matrices required to simulate quantum circuits. As a result, we have found that QuIDDPro is significantly faster and uses significantly less memory as compared to other generic simulation methods for some useful circuits with many more than 10 qubits [3, 4, 5].
