Abstract
The growing interest in quantum computing and the recent progress of quantum hardware devices motivates the development of new advanced computational tools focused on performance and usage simplicity. Therefore, in this talk, we present Qibo, an open-source quantum computing middleware framework which provides to users a standardized set of tools for the design, simulation and execution of quantum circuits on classical and quantum hardware [1]. We describe the major backend libraries integrated in Qibo for quantum simulation [2], quantum hardware control and calibration [3]. We show benchmark results related to the simulation and control performance of Qibo and provide examples of full-stack quantum computing algorithms developed in the context of particle physics applications [4]. Finally, we conclude by summarizing the new features planned for the next major release and by providing an overview of Qibo's integration into national quantum research initiatives around the world.
