QuSP: The Quantum Simulator Package

With the advent and recent popularity of quantum computing (QC) architectural design, there has never been greater focus on quantum simulators and how they might inform the associated design decisions. There are many libraries and tools that hope to bridge the gap between optimal design patterns and the intuition that informs those patterns, but there are very few platforms that streamline this iterative process. With the guidance of the Science Gateways Community Institute, and backed by OpenMPS, a highly generalizable matrix product state simulation toolkit, we will address the aforementioned gap with QuSP, the Quantum Simulator Package. By building a clean, hosted graphical interface for performing quantum simulator simulations, leveraging both the high performance computing resources of the Colorado School of Mines and XSEDE, we will bridge this gap. QuSP provides a guided user experience to defining a system, its evolution, and any metrics a user might want to track through that evolution.
