ReCirq
Research using Cirq!
This project contains modules for running quantum computing applications and experiments through Cirq. By way of example, we also document best practices for setting up robust experimental pipelines.
Installation and Documentation
ReCirq is not available as a PyPI package. Please clone this repository and install from source:
cd recirq/
pip install .Documentation is available at https://quantumai.google/cirq/experiments.
