QuIDE 2

Cross Platform Quantum Circuit Simulator

• fork of QuIDE 1.0.0 from quide.eu
• refactored with Avalonia to be cross-compilable on Linux, Windows and macOS.
• maintained by MNM-Team at LMU Munich.

Run the app

• simply download the application in the Releases section, there is a version for Windows, Linux (amd64) and macOS (arm64) precompiled.
• to run the program on your machine, you need the dotnet-8.0-runtime. It can be obtained by Microsoft or at your local packet manager, e.g. dotnet-runtime-8.0 on Ubuntu.
• on Linux it can be necessary to set the file as executable for your user (chmod +x QuIDE) after unzipping.
• we don't have a developer ID for macOS, so you may need to use the following command: xattr -cr /Applications/QuIDE.app after installation (especially when macOS tells the app is broken).

Compile by yourself

• Install the .NET-SDK 8.0, which can be found at Microsoft or at your local packet manager, e.g. dotnet-sdk-8.0 on Ubuntu.
• Run dotnet build --configuration Release in the repository

Start program

• Run QuIDE/bin/Release/net8.0/QuIDE<.exe/.app>
• You can find the Quantum.dll at Quantum/bin/Release/net8.0/Quantum.dll

Build single-file-app

• To build a single-file-app (Linux & Windows) you can use dotnet publish, e.g.: dotnet publish QuIDE/QuIDE.csproj -r <linux/win>-x64 -p:PublishSingleFile=true --self-contained false -o out/, then the App is at out/QuIDE<.exe> and all shared libraries (except dotnet-runtime) are included.
• To build a .app on macOS you need two commands: dotnet publish QuIDE/QuIDE.csproj -r osx-arm64 and dotnet msbuild QuIDE/QuIDE.csproj -t:BundleApp -p:RuntimeIdentifier=osx-arm64 -property:Configuration=Release -p:UseAppHost=true. Then you find it at QuIDE/bin/Release/net8.0/osx-arm64/publish/QuIDE.app.

Documentation

• User Documentation of version 1.0.0 can be found here, until now there are no features in QuIDE 2 which would extend the described functionality.
