QDENSITY
Simulation of a Quantum Computer

Download | News | Contributions

 First Version: 10-Aug-2005

This Mathematica 6.0 package is a simulation of a Quantum Computer.

The program provides a modular, instructive approach for generating the basic elements that make up a quantum circuit.

The package commands are defined in Qdensity.m which contains the tools needed in quantum circuits, e.g. multiquibit kets, projectors, gates, etc.

A tutorial notebook, Tutorial.nb is provided which should serve as a guide to  the package.

Relevant cases, including
  • Teleportation,
  • Quantum fourier transform,
  • Grover's search and
  • Shor's algorithm,
are given in separate notebooks: QFT.nb, Teleportation.nb, Grover.nb and  Shor.nb where each algorithm is explained in detail.

Finally, two examples of the construction and manipulation of cluster states, which are part of  ``one way computing" ideas, are included as an additional tool in the notebook Cluster.nb. A mathematica palette containing most commands in QDENSITY is also included: QDENSpalette.nb

NEW: VERSION 2.0 

We have updated the package to make it fully
compatible with Mathematica 6.0
The QDENSITY package, including:
Qdensity.m

Cluster.nb
Teleportation.nb
Grover.nb
QFT.nb
Shor.nb
Tutorial.nb

can be downloaded as a zip file, QDENSITY.2.0.zip. The notebooks can be very conveniently browsed using the Mathematica's Help Browser. The installation is VERY EASY, just follow the short README.txt file

The previous version can be obtained here,
QDENSITY.1.0.zip


The package has been tested using Mathematica 5.0 and 5.2, some functions, using recurrence formulas, may not work in previous versions.
As provided, print the manual and run the tutorial, Tutorial.nb, and get started on how to use QDENSITY to build Quantum Circuits.
Feedback, corrections, and commentaries are more than welcome, please email them to tabakin@pitt.edu or bjulia@gmail.com
Here are three snapshots of a part of the Tutorial and of Shor and of the Mathematica QDENSITY palette.
