cuQuantum SDK: A High-Performance Library for Accelerating Quantum Information Science

---

NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuquantum-sdk>_ is a high-performance library for quantum information science and beyond. Currently its primary target is quantum circuit simulations and it consists of two major components:

• cuStateVec: a high-performance library for state vector computations
• cuTensorNet: a high-performance library for tensor network computations

In addition to C APIs, cuQuantum also provides Python APIs via cuQuantum Python_.

.. _cuQuantum Python: https://pypi.org/project/cuquantum-python/

Documentation

Please refer to https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuquantum/index.html for the cuQuantum documentation.

Installation

The cuQuantum wheel can be installed as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install cuquantum-cuXX

where XX is the CUDA major version (currently CUDA 11 and 12 are supported). We encourage users to install package with the -cuXX suffix; the package cuquantum (without the -cuXX suffix) currently points to cuquantum-cu11 and is subject to change in the future.

.. note::

This package is a "meta"-package -- installing it will install both custatevec-cuXX and cutensornet-cuXX that are released in the installed cuQuantum SDK version.

.. note::

To use cuQuantum's Python APIs, please directly install cuQuantum Python_.
