Stack recipe

Simulator selection workflow

Compare simulation styles before committing to a research stack.

Workflow

  1. Define whether you need state-vector, stabilizer, or pedagogy-first simulation.
  2. Benchmark runtime on representative circuits.
  3. Document noise assumptions explicitly.
