AQuRA: A software package for simulating quantum computing with continuous variables — •Sebastian Luhn and Matthias Zimmermann — DLR e.V., Institut für Quantentechnologien, Ulm

There are a variety of simulation tools for digital quantum computers based on qubits. However, simulation tools for analog quantum computers based on continuous-variable quantum systems (e.g. the position of a quantum particle) are rare. Indeed, simulating these quantum systems also comes with a huge demand for computational power. Here we present a self-build simulation package that can calculate a huge variety of continuous quantum systems on powerful HPC hardware as well as on a local pc. Our software does support many well-known codes like GKP or cat codes and offers several predefined gates for simulating operations acting on single and multiple quantum systems.
