QuESTlink -- Mathematica embiggened by a hardware-optimised quantum emulator
We introduce QuESTlink, pronounced "quest link", an open-source Mathematica
package which efficiently emulates quantum computers. By integrating with the
Quantum Exact Simulation Toolkit (QuEST), QuESTlink offers a high-level,
expressive and usable interface to a high-performance, hardware-accelerated
emulator. Requiring no installation, QuESTlink streamlines the powerful
analysis capabilities of Mathematica into the study of quantum systems, even
utilising remote multicore and GPU hardware. We demonstrate the use of
QuESTlink to concisely and efficiently simulate several quantum algorithms, and
present some comparative benchmarking against core QuEST.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures; added new facilities and remote benchmarkin
