Qiskit
Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers
Qiskit [kiss-kit] is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. When you are looking to start Qiskit, you have two options. You can start Qiskit locally, which is much more secure and private, or you get started with Jupyter Notebooks hosted in IBM Quantum Lab. Qiskit includes a comprehensive set of quantum gates and a variety of pre-built circuits so users at all levels can use Qiskit for research and application development. The transpiler translates Qiskit code into an optimized circuit using a backend’s native gate set, allowing users to program for any quantum processor or processor architecture with minimal inputs. Users can run and schedule jobs on real quantum processors, and employ Qiskit Runtime to orchestrate quantum programs on cloud-based CPUs, QPUs, and GPUs. -

CUDA-Q
C++ and Python support for the CUDA Quantum programming model
CUDA-Q is an open-source platform for developing hybrid quantum-classical applications using a unified programming model across CPUs, GPUs, and quantum processing units. It provides a full toolchain that includes compilers, runtimes, and libraries for writing quantum programs in both C++ and Python. The platform is designed to be hardware-agnostic, allowing developers to run applications on different quantum backends or simulate them efficiently using GPU acceleration when physical quantum hardware is unavailable. It enables complex workflows where classical and quantum computations are tightly integrated, supporting advanced research and real-world applications in quantum computing. The repository includes components such as the nvq++ compiler and runtime systems that manage execution across heterogeneous environments. -

Quantum++
Modern C++ quantum computing library
Quantum++ is a modern C++ general-purpose quantum computing library, composed solely of template header files. Quantum++ is written in standard C++17 and has very low external dependencies, using only the Eigen 3 linear algebra header-only template library and, if available, the OpenMP multiprocessing library. Quantum++ is not restricted to qubit systems or specific quantum information processing tasks, being capable of simulating arbitrary quantum processes. The main design factors taken in consideration were ease of use, high portability, and high performance. The library's simulation capabilities are only restricted by the amount of available physical memory. On a typical machine (Intel i5 8Gb RAM) Quantum++ can successfully simulate the evolution of 25 qubits in a pure state or of 12 qubits in a mixed state reasonably fast. -

Numerical routines for variational matrix product state simulations.
Open Source MPS (OSMPS) is a collection of numerical routines for performing tensor network algorithms to simulate entangled, 1D many-body quantum systems. Our applications reach from ground state and excited states for statics to the dynamics of time-dependent Hamiltonians. We offer various time evolution methods with an emphasis on the support of long-range interactions through the matrix product state formalism. For more algorithms, see the list of features below. Please cite "M. L. Wall and L. D. Carr, New J. Phys. 14, 125015 (2012)" and "D. Jaschke, M. L. Wall, and L. D. Carr, Computer Physics Communications 225, 59–91 (2018)" if your publication involves OSMPS. -

Azure Quantum Development Kit
Azure Quantum Development Kit
Azure Quantum Development Kit, including the Q# programming language, resource estimator, and Quantum Katas. The playground is a small website that loads the Q# editor, compiler, samples, katas, and documentation for the standard library. It's a way to manually validate any changes you make to these components. The easiest way to develop in this repo is to use VS Code. When you open the project root, by default VS Code will recommend you install the extensions listed in .vscode/extensions.json. These extensions provide language services for editing, as well as linters and formatters to ensure the code meets the requirements (which are checked by the build.py script and CI). -

The electronic structure package for quantum computers
OpenFermion is an open source library for compiling and analyzing quantum algorithms to simulate fermionic systems, including quantum chemistry. Among other functionalities, this version features data structures and tools for obtaining and manipulating representations of fermionic and qubit Hamiltonians. For more information, see our release paper. Currently, OpenFermion is tested on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We recommend using Mac or Linux because the electronic structure plugins are only compatible on these platforms. However, for those who would like to use Windows, or for anyone having other difficulties with installing OpenFermion or its plugins, we have provided a Docker image and usage instructions in the docker folder. The Docker image provides a virtual environment with OpenFermion and select plugins pre-installed. The Docker installation should run on any operating system. -

OpenQASM
Quantum assembly language for extended quantum circuits
OpenQASM is an imperative programming language designed for near-term quantum computing algorithms and applications. Quantum programs are described using the measurement-based quantum circuit model with support for classical feed-forward flow control based on measurement outcomes. OpenQASM presents a parameterized set of physical logic gates and concurrent real-time classical computations. Its main goal is to serve as an intermediate representation for higher-level compilers to communicate with quantum hardware. Allowances have been made for human usability. In particular, the language admits different representations of the same program as it is transformed from a high-level description to a pulse representation. -
