QUANTUM COMPOSER

​A flow-based IDE for QEngine (https://www.quatomic.com/composer/)
The Composer is a quantum simulation and visualization tool for education and research, a visual scripting language for numerical experiments in quantum mechanics, breaking the barrier from dry classroom settings into the exciting world of quantum mechanics.
You will be able to simulate many different kinds of physics and even integrate state-of-the-art quantum optimal control algorithms based on our QEngine.
Example files prepared for the students to start using it
