A framework for research and education for mixed-dimensional qudit quantum computing developed as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich.
If you have any questions, feel free to create a discussion or an issue on GitHub.
mqt.qudits is available via PyPI for all major operating systems and supports Python 3.9 to 3.13.
(.venv) $ pip install mqt.quditsNote
The tool is in an experimental stage, which is subject to frequent changes, and has limited documentation. We are working on improving that. In the meantime, users can explore how to use the framework via a Tutorial, showcasing its main functionality.
Furthermore, this video briefly illustrates some of the functionalities of MQT Qudits.
The implementation is compatible with any C++17 compiler, a minimum CMake version of 3.19, and Python 3.9+.
Building (and running) is continuously tested under Linux, macOS, and Windows using the latest available system versions for GitHub Actions.
