This chapter discusses how the concepts introduced before are implemented into

The implementation is written as a \lstinline{python3} module. This allows
users to quickly construct circuit, apply them to a state and measure amplitudes.
Full access to the state (including intermediate) state has been priorized over
execution speed. To keep the simulation speed as high as possible under these
constraints some parts are implemented in \lstinline{C}

\subsection{Dense State Vector Simulation}
\subsubsection{Representation of Dense State Vectors}
Recalling \eqref{eq:ci} any $n$-qbit state can be represented as a
$2^n$ component vector in the integer state basis. This representation
has some useful features when it comes to computations:

While implementing the dense state vectors two key points were allowing a simple and readable
way to use them and simple access to the states by users that want more information than an
abstracted view could allow. To meet both requirements the states are implemented as Python objects
providing abstract features such as normalization checking, checking for sufficient qbit number when applying
a circuit, computing overlaps with other states, a stringify method and stored measurement results.
To store the measurement results a NumPy \lstinline{int8} array \cite{numpy_array} is used; this is called
the classical state.
The Python states also have a NumPy \lstinline{cdouble} array that stores the quantum mechanical state.
Using NumPy arrays has the advantage that access to the data is simple and safe while operations
on the states can be implemented in \lstinline{C} \cite{numpy_ufunc} providing a considerable speedup.

This quantum mechanical state is the component vector in integer basis therefore it has $2^n$ components.
Storing those components is acceptable in a range from $1$ to $30$ qbits; above this range the state requires
space in the order of $1 \mbox{ GiB}$ which is in the range of usual RAM sizes for personal computers. For higher
qbit numbers moving to high performance computers and other simulators is necessary.

\subsubsection{Gates}
Gates on dense state vectors are implemented as NumPy Universal Functions (ufuncs) \cite{numpy_ufunc} mapping a classical
and a quantum state to a new classical state, a new quantum state and a $64 \mbox{ bit}$ integer indicating what qbits have
been measured. Using ufuncs has the great advantage that managing memory is done by NumPy and an application programmer
just has to implement the logic of the function. Because ufuncs are written in \lstinline{C} they provide a considerable
speedup compared to an implementation in Python.

\subsubsection{Circuits}
As mentioned in \ref{ref:quantum_circuits} quantum circuits are central in quantum programming.
In the implementation great care was taken to make writing circuits as convenient and readable as
possible. Users will almost never access the actual gates that perform the operation on a state;
instead they will handle circuits.\\
Circuits can be applied to a state by multiplying them from the left on a state object:

The elementary gates such as $H, R_\phi, CX$ are implemented as single gate circuits and can be constructing using
the built-in generators. The generators take the act-qbit as first argument, parameters such as the control qbit
or an angle as second argument:

\subsubsection{Graphical States}
For the graphical state $(V, E, O)$ the list of vertices $V$ can be stored implicitly
by demanding $V = \{0, ..., n - 1\}$. This leaves two components that have to be stored:
The edges $E$ and the vertex operators $O$. Storing the vertex operators is done using
a \lstinline{uint8_t} array. Every local Clifford operator is associated from $0$ to $24$,
their order is
