cuQuantum SDK: A High-Performance Library for Accelerating Quantum Information Science
**************************************************************************************

Welcome to the cuQuantum SDK documentation!

**NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK** is a high-performance library for quantum information science and beyond.
Currently its primary target is *quantum circuit simulations* and it consists of two major components:

  * cuStateVec: a high-performance library for state vector computations
  * cuTensorNet: a high-performance library for tensor network computations

In addition to C APIs, cuQuantum also provides Python APIs via :doc:`cuQuantum Python <python/index>`.

NVIDIA :doc:`cuQuantum Appliance <appliance/index>` offers a containerized solution, including a multi-GPU backend
for Google's `qsim <https://github.com/quantumlib/qsim>`_ state vector simulator.
