OpenFermion-ProjectQ - Deprecated
While no longer actively developed, this plugin library integrates OpenFermion with the ProjectQ framework for simulating quantum circuits.
Projects
The winning project of the Rigetti quantum computing hackathon that combined OpenFermion with Rigetti's framework, compressing molecular representations with an autoencoder.
Implementation of Compressed Unsupervised State Preparation (CUSP) protocol using OpenFermion and Cirq. CUSP uses the quantum autoencoder to synthesize more compact circuits to use for algorithms such as VQE.
