Open quantum tools for Python

qscommons is a home for open, MIT-licensed quantum computing software, built and reviewed in public on GitHub.

One standard for every quantum tool. Whoever wrote it, whatever it simulates.

Open

MIT licensed, so it can be used in teaching, research and commercial work.

One-line install

A single pip install, with nothing to compile.

Tested against a reference

Results are checked against an independent implementation, not just against themselves.

Docs with real output

Every example prints what the tool actually returns, and the docs change with the code.
