I also maintain a high-performance quantum computer simulation framework, over at https://github.com/vm6502q. This pull request adds vm6502q/qrack (C++) functionality as a Unity plugin, exposes the DLL API as a simple set of Unity components, and includes a quantum teleportation example (slightly "cheating," quantum mechanically, for visual feedback) in the primary demo scene.

I think it's natural enough to ask what happens when we incorporate genuinely quantum mechanical systems into a hyper-relativistic space. The purported inconsistencies between the theories are not particularly obvious at all, this way, so long as inter-quantum-computer signalling occurs at the speed of light or slower, so no great theoretical leaps are necessary, yet. It's possible this won't hold true once I expose an API that allows for unitary evolution of quantum state over time according to a Hamiltonian, but that's to follow next, and I expect no inconsistency when relativistic locality is observed.
