# MQT DDSIM - A quantum circuit simulator based on decision diagrams written in C++

A tool for classical quantum circuit simulation by the [Institute for Integrated Circuits](https://iic.jku.at/eda/) at the [Johannes Kepler University Linz](https://jku.at).
The simulator builds upon [our quantum functionality representation (QFR)](https://github.com/cda-tum/qfr.git) which in turns builds on [our decision diagram (DD) package](https://github.com/cda-tum/dd_package.git).

**Detailed documentation on all available formats, options, and algorithms is available at  [ReadTheDocs](https://ddsim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).**

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via [iic-quantum@jku.at](mailto:iic-quantum@jku.at) or by creating an [issue](https://github.com/cda-tum/ddsim/issues) on GitHub.

## Getting Started

DDSIM bundled with the provider and backends for Qiskit is available via [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mqt.ddsim/) for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

```console
(venv) $ pip install mqt.ddsim
```

The following code gives an example on the usage:

```python3
from qiskit import *
from mqt import ddsim

circ = QuantumCircuit(3)
circ.h(0)
circ.cx(0, 1)
circ.cx(0, 2)

print(circ.draw(fold=-1))

backend = ddsim.DDSIMProvider().get_backend('qasm_simulator')

job = execute(circ, backend, shots=10000)
counts = job.result().get_counts(circ)
print(counts)
```

## System Requirements and Building

The implementation is compatible with any C++17 compiler and a minimum CMake version of 3.14.
The required dependencies are `OpenMP >= 4.0` and `Threads::Threads`.
Please refer to the [documentation](https://ddsim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) on how to build the project.

Building (and running) is continuously tested under Linux, macOS, and Windows using the [latest available system versions for GitHub Actions](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments).
