In Greek mythology, Chaos is the primordial void from which the cosmos was born. This project embodies that spirit: it provides a foundational framework to simulate the probabilistic, indeterminate nature of quantum mechanics, from which definite, classical answers emerge upon measurement.
Unlike simpler simulators that manage qubits individually, CHAOS adopts the industry-standard approach used in professional and academic research, ensuring that its behavior correctly reflects the underlying mathematics of quantum mechanics.
The simulator's accuracy and power rest on three fundamental pillars:
- Global State Vector: The entire multi-qubit system is represented by a single, unified state vector of size 2^n (where n is the number of qubits). This is the only way to correctly capture system-wide correlations and entanglement.
- Tensor Product Gate Application: Quantum gates are not applied to qubits in isolation. Instead, they are expanded into full-system operators using the tensor product (Kronecker product). For example, applying a Hadamard gate to the first of three qubits involves creating an
H ⊗ I ⊗ I
operator, which then acts on the entire state vector. This is computationally intensive but physically correct. - Probabilistic Measurement & State Collapse: Measurement is a probabilistic process based on the amplitudes of the state vector. When a qubit is measured, the system's state vector collapses into a new, valid state consistent with the measurement outcome, accurately modeling quantum mechanics.
- Stateful, Multi-Qubit Circuits: Create and manage quantum circuits with any number of qubits
- Physics-Accurate Simulation: True state-vector representation with proper entanglement modeling
- Real-Time State Visualization: Human-readable circuit state with automatic probability calculations
- Probabilistic Measurement: Authentic quantum measurement with state collapse simulation
- Rich State Display: Comprehensive output showing:
- Individual qubit marginal probabilities
- System-wide entanglement detection (
Entangled
orSeparable
) - Complete basis state probability distributions
- Circuit execution tracking and validation
- Bell State Generator: Instant 2-qubit entanglement creation
- GHZ State Constructor: Multi-qubit entanglement for 3+ qubits
- Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT): Full implementation with inverse operations
- Grover's Search Algorithm: Quadratic speedup for unstructured database search
- Shor's Period-Finding: Core subroutine for quantum factorization
- Tensor Product Operations: Industry-standard gate application using Kronecker products
- Efficient State Management: Optimized memory usage for large quantum systems
- GPU Acceleration: CuPy-powered computation for large-scale quantum circuits (20+ qubits)
- Memory-Efficient Architecture: Direct state vector manipulation avoiding exponential matrix memory requirements
- Numerical Precision: High-precision complex arithmetic for stable simulations
- Validation Suite: Comprehensive test coverage ensuring algorithm correctness
CHAOS achieves breakthrough performance in large-scale quantum simulation through memory-efficient algorithms and GPU acceleration. Unlike traditional simulators that fail beyond 10-15 qubits, CHAOS successfully demonstrates 20+ qubit simulation capabilities.
Traditional quantum simulators face an exponential memory barrier when applying quantum gates using the standard Kronecker product approach:
# Traditional method: Build full system matrices
H = np.array([[1, 1], [1, -1]]) / sqrt(2)
I = np.eye(2)
# For n qubits, this creates 2^n × 2^n matrices
full_matrix = I
for i in range(total_qubits):
if i == target_qubit:
full_matrix = np.kron(full_matrix, H) # Kronecker product
else:
full_matrix = np.kron(full_matrix, I)
# Memory explosion: 15 qubits = 32,768 × 32,768 matrix = 17GB
new_state = full_matrix @ state_vector # Fails due to memory
Qubits | Traditional Matrix Memory | CHAOS Memory | Reduction Factor |
---|---|---|---|
10 | 16 MB | 8 KB | 2,000x |
15 | 17 GB | 0.5 MB | 34,000x |
20 | 16 TB | 16 MB | 1,000,000x |
CHAOS bypasses matrix construction entirely through direct state vector manipulation:
# CHAOS method: Direct amplitude manipulation
def _apply_gate_direct(self, gate_matrix, qubit_index):
step = 2 ** qubit_index
state_size = len(self.state_vector)
# Extract gate matrix elements
g00, g01 = gate_matrix[0, 0], gate_matrix[0, 1]
g10, g11 = gate_matrix[1, 0], gate_matrix[1, 1]
# Direct amplitude transformation without matrix explosion
for i in range(0, state_size, 2 * step):
for j in range(step):
idx0 = i + j
idx1 = i + j + step
# Get current amplitudes
amp0 = self.state_vector[idx0]
amp1 = self.state_vector[idx1]
# Apply 2x2 gate transformation directly
self.state_vector[idx0] = g00 * amp0 + g01 * amp1
self.state_vector[idx1] = g10 * amp0 + g11 * amp1
Qubits | State Vector Size | Memory Usage | Execution Time | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
16 | 65,536 elements | 0.006 GB | 5.7 seconds | Success |
17 | 131,072 elements | 0.012 GB | 11.8 seconds | Success |
18 | 262,144 elements | 0.024 GB | 24.6 seconds | Success |

20 | 1,048,576 elements | 0.024 GB | 18.6 minutes | Success |

The QFT is a fundamental building block in many quantum algorithms, most notably Shor's algorithm for factorization. CHAOS now features a fully verified implementation of QFT and its inverse (IQFT).
Here is an example of how to create a 3-qubit circuit, prepare an initial state, apply the QFT, and then apply the IQFT to recover the initial state, proving the implementation's correctness:
import numpy as np
from quantum_circuit import QuantumCircuit
# 1. Initialize a 3-qubit circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(3)
# 2. Prepare a non-trivial initial state, e.g., |101>
qc.apply_gate('X', 0)
qc.apply_gate('X', 2)
qc.run()
initial_state = np.copy(qc.state_vector)
# 3. Apply the QFT
qc.operations = [] # Clear preparation operations
qc.apply_qft()
qc.run()
# 4. Apply the IQFT to return to the initial state
qc.operations = []
qc.apply_iqft()
qc.run()
# 5. Verify that the final state matches the initial state
assert np.allclose(initial_state, qc.state_vector)
print("\nVerification successful: IQFT(QFT(|psi>)) == |psi>")

Grover's algorithm provides a quadratic speedup for searching an unstructured database. CHAOS now fully supports the construction of Grover circuits.
The following example demonstrates how to search for the state |110>
in a 3-qubit space:
import numpy as np
import math
from quantum_circuit import QuantumCircuit
# Define the 3-qubit system and the state to search for ('110')
num_qubits = 3
marked_state_str = '110'
# 1. Initialize circuit and create uniform superposition
qc = QuantumCircuit(num_qubits)
qc.apply_hadamard_to_all()
# 2. Determine the optimal number of iterations
N = 2**num_qubits
optimal_iterations = math.floor(math.pi / 4 * math.sqrt(N))
# 3. Apply Grover iterations
for _ in range(optimal_iterations):
qc.apply_grover_iteration(marked_state_str)
# 4. Run the circuit and verify the result
qc.run()
probabilities = np.abs(qc.state_vector)**2
most_likely_state = np.argmax(probabilities)
print(f"Probability of finding |{marked_state_str}>: {probabilities[int(marked_state_str, 2)]:.2%}")
