Qiskit Aer is a high performance quantum circuit simulator.
The software is designed for simulating quantum circuits on classical hardware, with support for realistic noise models that help users study how circuits behave under non-ideal conditions. It includes fast simulation backends, primitives for modern Qiskit workflows, and optional GPU-enabled packages for accelerating selected simulator methods on supported Linux systems.
Qiskit is a software stack for quantum computing and algorithms research.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Includes realistic noise models for studying the effects of hardware noise on circuit execution.
- Supports simulator backends for statevector, density matrix, unitary, and related simulation methods.
- Offers modern primitives including sampler and estimator interfaces for running simulation workloads.
- Supports simulation using noise models derived from actual hardware backends.
- Includes benchmarking, testing, and developer documentation for contributors and advanced users.
