Other notebooks\nin Qubiter's jupyter_notebook folder\ndiscuss more advanced features:\n\n* https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/artiste-qb-net/qubiter/blob/master/qubiter/jupyter_notebooks/Say_Hello_World_With_Qubiter.ipynb\n\nThe following automatically generated notebook summarizes all other notebooks:\n\n* https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/artiste-qb-net/qubiter/blob/master/qubiter/jupyter_notebooks/SUMMARY.ipynb\n\nSee also, at the readthedocs.org \nwebsite, the beautiful documentation generated automatically by the Sphinx \nsoftware based on Qubiter's docstrings and code:\n\n* https://qubiter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\n\n## Installation\n\nThe simplest thing that avoids \nmany of the installation hassles is to get an account \non our Amazon cloud service\nwww.bayesforge.com. It's free for one year. \n Bayesforge already has \nall of Python and Qubiter installed (although you may need to \nupdate Qubiter using Git).\n Bayesforge is also available on the Tencent cloud.\n \nOf  course, you can also clone the latest version or update\nan older version of Qubiter on your computer\nfrom this repo by using Git commands.\n\nAlternatively, you can install an older but more stable version\n of Qubiter from the Python package\n manager `pip` using:\n```\npip install qubiter --user\n```\n\nIf you are using a Jupyter notebook, use:\n```\n!pip install qubiter --user\n```\nand restart the kernel.\n\n## What is Qubiter?\n\nThe Qubiter project aims to  provide eventually a full suite of tools, written mostly in Python, for designing and simulating quantum circuits on classical computers. (So it will address only the needs of gate model, not annealer, quantum computer engineers). We or others could start a similar project for annealers.\n\nAn earlier C++ computer program also called Qubiter (see http://www.ar-tiste.com/qubiter.html), written by Robert R. Tucci, did only quantum compiling. This newer project includes a quantum CSD compiler similar to the earlier Qubiter, based on the (Cosine-Sine) CS Decompostion of Linear Algebra, but written in Python. But this new project also includes much more than that.\n\nWe've included classes for reading and writing quantum circuit files. Also for expanding circuits with gates that have multiple controls into circuits with only CNOTs and single qubit rotation gates. Also for embedding a circuit inside a larger one. And, last but not least, we've included a simulator.\n\nThe simulator hasn't been bench-marked but should be pretty fast, because it relies on Numpy, which is a Python wrapper for C code.\n\nBesides being amply documented with docstrings, each class has a main method at the end giving examples of its usage (and testing it). Plus we've included a large and ever increasing collection of Jupyter notebooks that teach some physics and how to use Qubiter at the same time.\n\nThe quantum circuits are saved as text files, which allows easy exchange between QC engineers.\n\nThe quantum circuits are draw in ASCII (not in postscript or in a proprietary format). We hope we can convince you that ASCII drawings of quantum circuits are surprisingly clear, expressive, and convenient, really all you need, plus, unlike other formats, they are super easy to edit. Using other formats might require you to master difficult subjects like postscript in order to write/edit circuit files. This is totally unnecessary!\n\nQuantum Fog at GitHub (see https://github.com/artiste-qb-net/quantum-fog) is a twin project started by the same people. We hope that eventually Quantum Fog will call Qubiter to perform some tasks, like quantum compiling and simulating.\n\nAll of Qubiter at GitHub except for the contents of the quantum_CSD_compiler folder is licensed under the BSD license (3 clause version) with an added clause at the end, taken almost verbatim from the Apache 2.0 license, granting additional Patent rights.
