Quantum Network Simulator

Quantum Network Simulator has been developed at C-DAC Bangalore, with funding from the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India. This tool provides a simulation framework that can be used for modelling quantum networks and study the performance of different quantum network protocols, topologies and configurations.

System Software Stack for Quantum Processors and Quantum Accelerators

A functional Quantum Computing (QC) ecosystem requires extensive software components. The software ecosystem is fundamental to QC systems design. Quantum Accelerators are emerging speedup enablers as a specialized module incorporated with the Cluster based Supercomputing architectures. The work involves the development of Quantum Compilers that can be coupled with simulation tools and resource estimators like qubit estimators.

Topological phenomena in two- and three- dimensional systems

The Quantum Computing Simulator Toolkit, jointly developed by C-DAC, IISc, and IIT-R with support from the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, offers a simulation framework known as QSim. This toolkit enables researchers and students to write and debug Quantum Code, crucial for the development of Quantum Algorithms. QSim facilitates exploration of Quantum Algorithms in idealized conditions, aiding in the preparation of experiments for eventual execution on real Quantum Hardware.
