library for the simulation of a quantum computer (development files)

libquantum is a C library for the simulation of a quantum computer. Based on the principles of quantum mechanics, it provides an implementation of a quantum register. Basic operations for register manipulation such as the Hadamard gate or the Controlled-NOT gate are available through an easy-to-use interface. Measurements can be performed on either single qubits or the whole quantum register.

Features:

 * Simulation of arbitrary quantum algorithms is possible
 * High performance and low memory consumption
 * Decoherence support for realistic quantum computation
 * Interface for quantum error correction (QEC)
 * Supports the density operator formalism
 * Implementations of Shor's factoring algorithm and Grover's search
   algorithm are included

This package contains the header files and static libraries which are needed to develop applications based on libquantum.
