XACC
An extreme-scale programming model for quantum acceleration.
Overview
XACC (eXtreme-scale ACCelerator) is a framework for hybrid quantum-classical computing that is designed to integrate quantum processors into high-performance computing (HPC) workflows. It provides a programming model that allows developers to write quantum algorithms that can be executed on a variety of quantum hardware and simulators. XACC is designed to be extensible, allowing for the addition of new quantum compilers and hardware backends.
✨ Key Features
- Focus on hybrid quantum-classical computing for HPC
- Extensible compiler and hardware backend architecture
- Support for multiple quantum programming languages
