CUDA-QX Files

The CUDA-QX 0.4.0 release includes a variety of new features in both the Solvers and QEC library. For the Solvers library, a new Generative Quantum Eigensolver implementation is provided. To use this new algorithm, you will need to use pip install cudaq-solvers[gqe] in order to install all the proper dependencies. For the QEC library, a new Tensor Network Decoder is added, and a new API allows users to automatically generate PCMs from noisy CUDA-Q memory circuits. To use this new decoder, you will need to a) use Python >= 3.11, and b) use pip install cudaq-qec[tensor_network_decoder] in order to install all the proper dependencies. Additionally, support for Python 3.13 is added in this release. Many more features are listed below!

Please check out the docs and examples for how to get started using the CUDA-QX libraries!

Note: CUDA-QX 0.4.0 depends on CUDA-Q 0.12.0.
