libquantum is a C library for the simulation of a quantum computer. libquantum provides an interface for a quantum register and for all important quantum operations.

An efficient model for decoherence allows an analysis of quantum computation in a realistic environment.

Here are some key features of "libquantum":
Simulation of arbitrary quantum algorithms is possible
High perfomance 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
libquantum is available as Free Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). See the file COPYING for further details.

Requirements:
GNU/Linux (This is the main development platform)
FreeBSD
HP Tru64 UNIX
