*Dear Quantum Partners, We are happy to let you know that a preliminary
version of our platform for building, optimizing, and running quantum
circuits, Cirq, is now available for testing!WhatCirq is an open-source
Python framework for writing quantum programs. Right now it runs against a
local classical simulator, but in the future it will be hooked up to
Google’s quantum cloud service to run against our honest-to-goodness
quantum computers (and also classical simulators running on Google
infrastructure).WhereCirq is currently in a private github repo:
https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq <https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq> If
you have previously given us your github id, then you should have received
an invitation to access this repo. Please note that we require 2 factor
authorization be turned on for your github account (see
https://help.github.com/articles/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-auth…
<https://help.github.com/articles/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/>
for how to enable 2 factor authorization). If you have more github
accounts that need to be added, please email dabacon(a)google.com
<dabacon(a)google.com> with these requests. Some of you requested github ids
for team members not on this email thread, please feel free to share this
email with them.HowTo get up and running with Cirq, the following documents
will be useful: - Installation instructions
<https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq/blob/master/cirq/docs/install.md>-
Documentation
<https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq/blob/master/cirq/docs/table_of_contents.md>Bugs,
Feedback, and ContributionsWe want your feedback! For bugs, questions,
feature requests, complaints, suggestions, or other feedback, please use
https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq/issues
<https://github.com/quantumlib/cirq/issues>. If there is a comment you
want to make that you’d rather not share publicly on github, please send
these to dabacon(a)google.com <dabacon(a)google.com> or alankho(a)google.com
<alankho(a)google.com>om>. We also welcome contributions. Instructions for
contributing code can be found at
https://github.com/quantumlib/Cirq/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
<https://github.com/quantumlib/Cirq/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md> Note that
you will need to sign the CLA to contribute, please consult with your
employer about signing the CLA before you sign. Also note that we have a
code review process, if you are thinking of a major change or change that
significantly changes the interface we recommend filing an issue first to
ensure that this change is going to not be killed during code review.Note
that Cirq is still under very active development and is not yet to an alpha
version. We will be making breaking changes, especially as a result of
feedback we receive from you. ConfidentialityPlease keep the contents of
Cirq confidential. Only you can prevent the spread of quantum hype! Thank
you for your patience in waiting for us to get Cirq to you. We look
forward to getting feedback from you on Cirq, please don’t be shy in
sharing your opinions!Thanks,The Quantum Cloud Team*
