Libquantum is a c library for the simulation of a quantum computer. based on the principles of quantum mechanics, it provides an implementation of a quantum register. basic operations for register manipulation such as the hadamard gate or the controlled-not gate are available through an easy-to-use interface. measurements can be performed on either single qubits or the whole quantum register.

features:
* simulation of arbitrary quantum algorithms is possible
* high perfomance and low memory consumption
* decoherence support for realistic quantum computation
* interface for quantum error correction (qec)
* supports the density operator formalism
* implementations of shor's factoring algorithm and grover's search
algorithm are included
this package contains the shared libraries.
