Organizations requiring a software architecture and tool suite for quantum computing
About 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.

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.
