Show HN: Qoord, a simple quantum circuit simulator (github.com)

23 points by isotropy ↗ HN
Hi! I built this to teach myself how a quantum circuit simulator works. It's about 1000 lines of Python, aiming to be understandable more than being fast or robust. It's not meant to compete with anything else - just a personal project to really get clear on the under-the-hood theory of qubits and quantum gates.

Really well written. Some additional use cases/examples would be appreciated for us qubitiots.

Thanks, I appreciate that! For you personally, are you thinking more code-focused, what-can-I-do-with-this, or more theory, what-is-a-qubit/quantum-gate kind of stuff?

"to achieve [this result] - simulate a circuit thusly:"

Or is this basically teaching you the "instruction set" as it were?

Sorry, my nomenclature in this area is really lacking.
