QuantumSimulator

QuantumSimulator is the offline entry point for pulse-level Hamiltonian studies. Use it when you want to model quantum systems, drive them with pulses, and iterate on experiments without connecting to real hardware.

Who should use QuantumSimulator

  • Researchers who want to study pulse-level dynamics without using hardware
  • Users exploring model behavior before moving to a real system
  • Teams prototyping calibrations and pulse designs offline

What QuantumSimulator gives you

  • Pulse-level Hamiltonian simulation for qubits, resonators, and coupled systems
  • Reuse of Qubex pulse objects in offline studies
  • A safe path for iterating on calibrations before hardware time is available
  1. Install Qubex: Installation
  2. Learn the shared pulse-sequence model if needed: Build pulse sequences with PulseSchedule
  3. Start with curated notebooks: QuantumSimulator example workflows

You do not need hardware configuration files to begin with QuantumSimulator notebooks.

Choose Experiment instead when

  • You want to run experiments on real hardware
  • You need measurement results and hardware-backed readout
  • You want the higher-level workflow around connection, execution, and analysis

See Experiment for that path.
