About Google Cirq
Cirq is a Python software library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits, and then running them on quantum computers and quantum simulators. Cirq provides useful abstractions for dealing with today’s noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers, where details of the hardware are vital to achieving state-of-the-art results. Cirq comes with built-in simulators, both for wave functions and for density matrices. These can handle noisy quantum channels using monte carlo or full density matrix simulations. In addition, Cirq works with a state-of-the-art wavefunction simulator: qsim. These simulators can be used to mock quantum hardware with the quantum virtual machine. Cirq is used to run experiments on Google's quantum processors. Learn more about the latest experiments and access the code to se how to run them yourself.

Quantum Programming Studio
Circuit can be exported to multiple quantum programming languages/frameworks and can be executed on various simulators and quantum computers. You can use simple drag & drop user interface to assemble circuit diagram which automatically translates to code, and vice versa - you can type the code and the diagram is updated accordingly. QPS Client is running on your local machine (or in the cloud) where your quantum programming environment is installed. It opens a secure websocket connection with Quantum Programming Studio server and executes quantum circuits (that you design in the web UI) on your local simulator or on a real quantum computer.

QX Simulator
The realization of large-scale physical quantum computers appears to be challenging, alongside the efforts to design quantum computers, significant efforts are focusing on the development of useful quantum algorithms. In the absence of a large physical quantum computer, an accurate software simulation of quantum computers on a classical computer is required to simulate the execution of those quantum algorithms and to study the behavior of a quantum computer and improve its design. Besides simulating error-free execution quantum circuits on a perfect quantum computer, the QX simulator can simulate realistic noisy execution using different error models such as the depolarizing noise. The user can activate the error model and define a physical error probability to simulate a specific target quantum computer. This error rate can be defined based on the gate fidelity and the qubit decoherence of the target platform.

LIQUi|>
LIQUi|> is a software architecture and tool suite for quantum computing. It includes a programming language, optimization and scheduling algorithms, and quantum simulators. LIQUi|> can be used to translate a quantum algorithm written in the form of a high-level program into the low-level machine instructions for a quantum device. LIQUi|> is being developed by the quantum architectures and computation Group (QuArC) at Microsoft Research. To aid in the development and understanding of quantum protocols, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and quantum devices, QuArC has developed an extensive software platform called LIQUi|>. LIQUi|> allows the simulation of Hamiltonians, quantum circuits, quantum stabilizer circuits, and quantum noise models, and supports client, service, and cloud operation.
