Welcome to QSL’s documentation!

This is the home page for QSL, a C++ based quantum simulator for small quantum computers (no more than around 25 qubits). The code is located in a Github repository here.

Warning

The project is not stable yet. The documentation and library interface is likely to change in the future.
