Symbolic and numeric quantum circuit simulation

Abstract

Simulation fulfills an important mechanism for the study and the development of many areas. Quantum computation simulation tools have become essential, because no effective quantum hardware has been implemented yet. However, the currently available simulators have serious deficiencies, which makes the description of this new computational paradigm incomplete. This article presents a universal quantum circuit simulator, called Zeno, and the symbolic extension that is being developed to it. The extension will allow a symbolic description of the system's state allied to the graphical representation of the circuit to be visualized together. Users will be able to work in a faster and more efficient way than making this calculations by hand. The extension will make possible a faithful description of the system computation like the descriptions observed in related literature.
