Abstract

This paper presents a quantum computer simulator with a web interface, based on the circuit model of quantum computation. This is the standard model for which most quantum algorithms have been developed. According to this model, quantum algorithms are expressed as circuits of quantum registers (series of qubits) and quantum gates operating on them. The paper also proposes another version of the existing simulator using symbolic computation in Python programming language, in order to perform quantum calculations.
