Cirq <https://quantumai.google/cirq>__ is a Python library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum circuits and running them against quantum computers and simulators.

This module is cirq-google, which provides everything you'll need to run Cirq quantum algorithms on the Google Quantum Computing Service. It also contains additional tools for calibration and characterization of the Google quantum devices.

Documentation

Access to Google Hardware is currently restricted to those in an approved group. In order to do this, you will need to apply for access, typically in partnership with a Google sponsor.

To get started with the Quantum Computing Service, checkout the following guide and tutorial:
