Description
cirq is an agent skill for Cirq, Google Quantum AI's open-source Python framework for designing, simulating and running quantum circuits on quantum computers and simulators. It is for building, simulating and optimising near-term quantum circuits, for running jobs on Google Quantum AI processors through the cirq-google package, and for working with partner backends such as IonQ, Azure Quantum, AQT and Pasqal. It also covers modelling noise, compiling to hardware gatesets, designing characterisation experiments, parameter sweeps, transformers and the ReCirq experiment patterns. The skill points elsewhere for other needs: IBM hardware is better served by Qiskit, quantum machine learning with autodiff by PennyLane, and physics simulations by QuTiP. Its examples target Cirq 1.7.0 on Python 3.11 or newer. The skill advises keeping Cirq vendor packages on the matching release, and it notes that independently versioned integrations, such as Azure Quantum, need their own compatibility check. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,800 installs.…
