MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing

Build, Simulate, and Run Quantum Algorithms

MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing lets you build, simulate, and run quantum algorithms. The support package enables you to prototype algorithms to accelerate solving problems such as optimization, scenario simulation, and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tasks, as well as currently unsolvable problems in chemistry and material simulations.

With MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing, you can:

• Build circuits to implement quantum algorithms using a variety of built-in and customizable composite gates
• Verify implementation of algorithms using simulations in your local computer or connect to a remote simulator through cloud services
• Execute quantum algorithms by connecting to quantum computing hardware through cloud services
• Visualize circuits to verify implementations of the algorithms and individual qubits, as well as analyze and plot results
• Create and solve quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problems on your local computer
