MQT DDVis is an installation-free web-tool that visualizes quantum decision diagrams and allows to explore their behavior when used in design tasks such as simulation, synthesis, or verification. MQT DDVis is hosted at https://www.cda.cit.tum.de/app/ddvis/. It is part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT).
MQT DDVis allows users to interactively learn how decision diagrams can be used in quantum computing, e.g., to
- compactly represent quantum states and efficiently simulate quantum circuits,
- compactly represent the functionality of quantum circuits, and
- verify the equivalence of two circuits in an efficient fashion.
If you have any questions, feel free to create a discussion or an issue on GitHub.
The Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) is developed by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich and supported by the Munich Quantum Software Company (MQSC). Among others, it is part of the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS) ecosystem, which is being developed as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) initiative.
Thank you to all the contributors who have helped make MQT DDVis a reality!
The MQT will remain free, open-source, and permissively licensed—now and in the future. We are firmly committed to keeping it open and actively maintained for the quantum computing community.
