Issue #46
This PR replaces BasicAer (Python) with Aer (C++), changes quantum simulators to 'aer_simulator', and enables GPU optimization if enabled. The GPU optimization is not available for all platforms, so it is placed as an additional dependency.
This PR also enables cuQuantum NVIDIA optimization if available.
Note: GPU support is not available on all platforms, and provided binaries for Linux do not include cuQuantum support.
To enable GPU+cuQuantum, it is necessary to build the source, as per https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-with-gpu-support
