Description
Summary:In this paper we briefly describe a Mathematica program for simulation of quantum circuits and illustrate some of its facilities by simple examples. Unlike other Mathematica -based quantum simulators, our program provides a user-friendly graphical interface for generating quantum circuits and computing the circuit unitary matrices. In addition to standard linear algebra-based tools, our program implements special computer-algebra technique for constructing the multivariate polynomial system that, for a circuit composed from the Toffoli and Hadamard gates, uniquely defines the circuit matrix.
