English/Japanese
"QCAD" is a total environment of Quantum Computing Simulation. Which help you designing circuits, simulating them and draw the circuits.
Specifications
GUI Environment to design quantum circuits:
- QCAD enables you to design quantum circuits easily with full GUI(graphical user interface) environment.
Export-able EPS and BMP:
- QCAD can export the designed circuits as Encapsulated Postscript(EPS) in order to include in LaTeX files.
Builtin Simulator:
- QCAD can simulate the designed circuited and show results(states of qubits).
EPS file created by QCAD
| OS: | Windows 2000/Me/Xp/Vista |
|---|---|
| CPU: | Pentium 200MHz or higher is recommended. |
| Memory: | It depends on the size of circuits which you want to simulate. If it is larger than 20 qubits, you'd better to prepare 256MB or higher. |
For detailed information, refer to Online QCAD help file.
