Experiments using quantum circuits

This is a collection of algorithms and experiments written in and using Cirq. A couple of them use only base Cirq, but the rest use additional code stored in ReCirq, a Github repository for research code that uses and builds upon Cirq.

Algorithms in base Cirq

Algorithms and experiments executable using only default Cirq code.
A workshop notebook with examples that covers algorithms commonly shown in quantum textbooks.
The famous integer factorization algorithm by Peter Shor.
Compute the ground state of a Hamiltonian using the variational principle.
The quantum analog of a random walk algorithm.
Demonstrate the separation between quantum and classical computers.
Show quantum separation with a constant depth solution.

ReCirq Experiments

Research experiments that use additional library code that resides in the external ReCirq repository.
