Open Quantum Design: Cloud

What's Here

This repository contains the software needed to submit jobs to a remote, cloud server for classical simulations of quantum programs. In addition, it provides a Docker script to self-host a simulation server of the OQD emulator backends.

The tools in this repository allow for self-hosting a server to run quantum programs on classical emulators, highlighted in the stack diagram in red. A client can specify a quantum program, submit it as a job to the self-hosted server, and retrieve the emulation results.

Currently, the analog layer backend is supported.
