Generating ~ Stabilizer States ~ and finding the Stabilizer Rank with Python and Cython.

This package contains code for generating stabilizer states, as numpy matrices, and for searching for stabilizer rank decompositions. The package also includes data files for stabilizer states on 1-4 qubits.

** Important Note: This package is 'between versions' right now; there are some issues with the implementation of canonical tableaux, and it's not well documented. Fixes are coming shortly! **

This package has been tested with Python 2.7 and 3.6. After downloading the source from this repository, the package can be installed using

python setup.py install

or else run locally within the directory by first building the cython extensions with

python setup.py build_ext --inplace
