Abstract

We propose a high-performance state-vector emulator of a gate-based quantum processors developed in the Rust programming language. It supports OpenQASM 2.0 programming language for quantum circuits specification and has a user-friendly Python based API. We present a wide range of numerical benchmarks of the emulator. We expect that our emulator will be used for design and validation of new quantum algorithms.
