Free Software Directory:Quantum Computing Team
All of the software listed on this page can be run on classical computers. This compatibility allows for development, simulation, and testing of quantum algorithms without requiring access to actual quantum hardware. Quantum computing software is designed to leverage the principles of quantum systems, using qubits for data representation and processing.
