GraphStateSim¶
This is a modified repository of Simon Anders’ library GraphSim, using pybind11. GraphSim is able to simulate an important class of stabilizer circuits via a graph state representation with local clifford operators.

Then in python, import graphsim.
Building locally¶
To install, run
uv build
then navigate to the dist/ folder and pip install the wheel.
uv pip install dist/*.whl
