Errors without density matrices #91

Closed igres26 closed 1 year ago

igres26 commented 4 years ago

As discussed in the previous meeting, an error simulation that does not require more memory is a good alternative in order to test noise effects on larger quantum circuits.

This approach is not fast, as one will have to compute the noisy circuit every time a measurement is made, but might be the only alternative in cases where there is not enough memory to store the density matrices.

@stavros11 what is the status of this?

As of #276 this should be implemented for most noise channels. Noise is simulated without density matrices by executing state vector simulation multiple times with random choices for the noise gates.
