Qiskit
Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers
Qiskit [kiss-kit] is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. When you are looking to start Qiskit, you have two options. You can start Qiskit locally, which is much more secure and private, or you get started with Jupyter Notebooks hosted in IBM Quantum Lab. Qiskit includes a comprehensive set of quantum gates and a variety of pre-built circuits so users at all levels can use Qiskit for research and application development. The transpiler translates Qiskit code into an optimized circuit using a backend’s native gate set, allowing users to program for any quantum processor or processor architecture with minimal inputs. Users can run and schedule jobs on real quantum processors, and employ Qiskit Runtime to orchestrate quantum programs on cloud-based CPUs, QPUs, and GPUs. -

Perceval
An open source framework for programming photonic quantum computers
An open-source framework for programming photonic quantum computers. Through a simple object-oriented Python API, Perceval provides tools for composing circuits from linear optical components, defining single-photon sources, manipulating Fock states, running simulations, reproducing published experimental papers and experimenting with a new generation of quantum algorithms. It aims to be a companion tool for developing photonic circuits – for simulating and optimizing their design, modeling both the ideal and realistic behaviors, and proposing a normalized interface to control them through the concept of backends. -

Quantum++
Modern C++ quantum computing library
Quantum++ is a modern C++ general-purpose quantum computing library, composed solely of template header files. Quantum++ is written in standard C++17 and has very low external dependencies, using only the Eigen 3 linear algebra header-only template library and, if available, the OpenMP multiprocessing library. Quantum++ is not restricted to qubit systems or specific quantum information processing tasks, being capable of simulating arbitrary quantum processes. The main design factors taken in consideration were ease of use, high portability, and high performance. The library's simulation capabilities are only restricted by the amount of available physical memory. On a typical machine (Intel i5 8Gb RAM) Quantum++ can successfully simulate the evolution of 25 qubits in a pure state or of 12 qubits in a mixed state reasonably fast. -

Among other functionalities, this version features data structures and tools for obtaining and manipulating representations of fermionic and qubit Hamiltonians. For more information, see our release paper. Currently, OpenFermion is tested on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We recommend using Mac or Linux because the electronic structure plugins are only compatible on these platforms. However, for those who would like to use Windows, or for anyone having other difficulties with installing OpenFermion or its plugins, we have provided a Docker image and usage instructions in the docker folder. The Docker image provides a virtual environment with OpenFermion and select plugins pre-installed. The Docker installation should run on any operating system. -

OpenQASM
Quantum assembly language for extended quantum circuits
OpenQASM is an imperative programming language designed for near-term quantum computing algorithms and applications. Quantum programs are described using the measurement-based quantum circuit model with support for classical feed-forward flow control based on measurement outcomes. OpenQASM presents a parameterized set of physical logic gates and concurrent real-time classical computations. Its main goal is to serve as an intermediate representation for higher-level compilers to communicate with quantum hardware. Allowances have been made for human usability. In particular, the language admits different representations of the same program as it is transformed from a high-level description to a pulse representation. -
