Does anyone know of a pedagogically-minded quantum computer simulator?

  The only one I'm aware of is in Common Lisp: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n5k9pikkcx5besa/QUANTUM_INTERPRETER_DRAFT_STATUS.pdf?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/n5k9pikkcx5besa/QUANTUM_INTERPRETE.... It doesn't take much (LOC) to implement a simulator. You can understand how one works by reading the source: https://github.com/adamisntdead/QuSimPy https://github.com/adamisntdead/QuSimPy

  Quirk: https://algassert.com/quirk https://algassert.com/quirk - Drag-and-drop what-you-see-is-what-you-get UI instead of script-based. Smooths out the learning curve. - Supports putting state displays in the middle of the circuit, so you can directly view normally-inaccessible information instead of inferring it from experience or algebra. - Fast. It updates all displays interactively, as you edit the circuit. Very easy to experiment, e.g. just drag a gate around seeing what it does in different places.

    Thank you!

  This isn't quite a simulator, but a co-operative board game to understand quantum computing (featured on HN a few weeks back): https://entanglion.github.io/ https://entanglion.github.io/
