Introduction

“The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that’s an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.”

—David Deutsch

This chapter gives an overview of quantum simulators. You will see how quantum simulators are used in real life. Code examples are presented for the quantum simulators, and the quantum languages and platforms are discussed in detail in this chapter.

Initial Setup

You need to set up Python 3.5 to run ...
