SchroSIM is a Schrödinger-inspired, scalable, and hardware-agnostic simulator for quantum photonic circuits. Built in Swift and optimized for Apple’s Metal framework, SchroSIM supports both continuous-variable (CV) and non-Gaussian quantum operations, offering a modular architecture suitable for education, research, and photonic hardware prototyping.
- Language: Swift + SwiftUI + Metal
- Simulator Types: Gaussian (symplectic formalism) and Non-Gaussian (Fock/tensor-based)
- Platform Support: macOS (M1/M2), future WebGPU-ready
- GUI: Drag-and-drop photonic circuit builder
- Compiler: Intermediate Representation (IR) for hardware-agnostic mapping
- Backends: CPU and GPU accelerated simulation
