v0.1.0

aleph v0.1 — the first public release of a high-performance quantum circuit simulator in Rust, with pluggable state-vector (SIMD + multi-threaded), MPS, and stabilizer backends, an OpenQASM 3.0 parser, an IR optimization pipeline, a CLI, and Python bindings.

Benchmarked against Qiskit Aer and Stim — full numbers and honest caveats in docs/perf/v0.1.md. Highlights: faster than single-thread Aer on QFT/Grover/QPE/VQE/QAOA at every measured size; within 2× of Stim on surface-code cycles at d=11 (241 qubits); 128-qubit shallow MPS circuits in ~10 ms.

Python

The package is aleph-sim (the module is import aleph). PyPI publication is planned; for v0.1 install the wheel for your platform from the assets below:

pip install <downloaded-wheel>   # Python >= 3.12

import aleph

c = aleph.Circuit(2)
c.h(0)
c.cx(0, 1)

result = aleph.run(c, shots=1024, seed=0)
print(result.counts())        # {'00': ~512, '11': ~512}
print(result.statevector())   # 4 amplitudes

Backends: sv (default, exact, ≤28 qubits), mps (low-entanglement, 100+ qubits), stab (Clifford-only). See the README for more.
