    • Quest_simulator – a high performance simulator of quantum circuits, state-vectors and density matrices.
    • qsimcirq_simulator – qsimcirq is a full wave function simulator written in C++. It uses gate fusion, AVX/FMA vectorized instructions and multi-threading using OpenMP to achieve state of the art simulations of quantum circuits. qsim is integrated with Cirq for CPU & GPU.
    • qsimcirq_cuquantum_gpu_simulator – GPU based Quantum Simulation using Qsim Cirq Simulator.
  • Added new Algorithms:
    • Veto Algorithm – The Veto Algorithm is a filtering technique that rejects events or data points based on predefined exclusion criteria to enhance the quality of the remaining dataset.
    • QSVM Algorithm – The QSVM (Quantum Support Vector Machine) algorithm leverages quantum computing to perform classification tasks by mapping data into a high-dimensional Hilbert space using quantum kernels for enhanced pattern recognition.
    • QKMeans Algorithm – The QKMeans (Quantum K-Means) algorithm is a quantum-enhanced clustering method that uses quantum distance estimation to group data into clusters more efficiently than classical K-Means.
    • QPC for the socialist millionaire problem – Quantum Private Comparison (QPC) for the Socialist Millionaire Problem enables two parties to compare whether their private inputs are equal—without revealing the actual values—using quantum properties like entanglement and superposition to ensure security and privacy.
    • QKNN – QKNN (Quantum k-Nearest Neighbors) is a quantum-enhanced classification algorithm that uses quantum parallelism and distance estimation to efficiently identify the k closest training samples to a query point for decision making.
