README
[](https://codecov.io/gh/qiboteam/qibo)
Qibo is an open-source full stack API for quantum simulation and quantum hardware control.
Some of the key features of Qibo are:
- Definition of a standard language for the construction and execution of quantum circuits with device agnostic approach to simulation and quantum hardware control based on plug and play backend drivers.
- A continuously growing code-base of quantum algorithms applications presented with examples and tutorials.
- Efficient simulation backends with GPU, multi-GPU and CPU with multi-threading support.
- Simple mechanism for the implementation of new simulation and hardware backend drivers.
## Documentation
[](https://qibo.science/qibo/stable/)
Qibo documentation is available [here](https://qibo.science).
## Minimum Working Examples
A simple [Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Fourier_transform) example to test your installation:
```python
from qibo.models import QFT
# Create a QFT circuit with 15 qubits
circuit = QFT(15)
# Simulate final state wavefunction default initial state is |00>
final_state = circuit()
```
Here another example with more gates and shots simulation:
```python
import numpy as np
from qibo import Circuit, gates
circuit = Circuit(2)
circuit.add(gates.X(0))
# Add a measurement register on both qubits
circuit.add(gates.M(0, 1))
# Execute the circuit with the default initial state |00>.
result = circuit(nshots=100)
```
In both cases, the simulation will run in a single device CPU or GPU in double precision `complex128`.
