How To Install libquantum8 on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libquantum8 on Kali Linux. libquantum8 is library for the simulation of a quantum computer

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libquantum8 on Kali Linux.

What is libquantum8

libquantum8 is:

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 shared libraries.
