Description
Summary:In this paper we analyze existing quantum computer simulation techniquesand their realizations to minimize the impact of the exponentialcomplexity of simulated quantum computations. As a result of thisinvestigation, we propose a quantum computer simulator with an integrateddevelopment environment - QuIDE - supporting development of algorithms forfuture quantum computers. The simulator simplifies building and testingquantum circuits and understand quantum algorithms in an efficient way.The development environment provides  flexibility of source codeedition and ease of graphical building of circuit diagrams.  We alsodescribe and analyze the complexity of algorithms used for simulationand present performance results of the simulator as well as results ofits deployment during university classes.
