Description: # PyQuEST-cffi README
        
        PyQuEST-cffi is a python interface to [QuEST](https://github.com/QuEST-Kit/QuEST) based on [cffi](https://cffi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) developed by HQS Quantum Simulations. QuEST is an open source toolkit for the simulation of quantum circuits (quantum computers). 
        
        PyQuEST-cffi provides an interactive python to QuEST interface based on cffi, mapping QuEST functions to python and executing them during runtime.
        
        For more information see the detailed code [documentation](https://pyquest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
        
        ## Note
        
        Please note, PyQuEST-cffi is not an official QuEST project. 
        
        In the developing branches of QuEST the QuEST project has implemented a [ctypes](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/ctypes.html)-based python interface [QuestPy](https://github.com/QuEST-Kit/QuEST/tree/master/utilities/QuESTPy) for unit testing.
        
        Do not assume that any bugs occuring using PyQuEST-cffi are QuEST bugs unless the same bug occurs when compiling/using a QuEST c-programm with the official release version of [QuEST](https://github.com/QuEST-Kit/QuEST).
        
        ## Installation
        
        We do provide a PyPi source packages. The recommended way to install PyQuEST-cffi is
        
        ```shell
        pip install pyquest_cffi
        ```
        If you want to install PyQuEST-cffi in development mode we recommend
        ```shell
        # PyQuEST-cffi add QuEST as a git submodule
        git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/HQSquantumsimulations/pyquest_cffi.git
        pip install -e pyquest_cffi/
        ```
