## Key Features

1. Will support [Qiskit’s](https://qiskit.org/), [Cirq’s](https://quantumai.google/cirq) and [pyQuil's](https://github.com/rigetti/pyquil) *quantum circuits* and *noise models*.
2. Provides opportunities to improve existing algorithms like *[VQE](https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms5213)*, *[QAOA](https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.4028)* by utilizing intuitive insights from the ansatz capability and structure of loss landscape.
3. Facilitate research in designing new hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.


## Installation

qLEET requires Python version 3.7 and above. Installation of qLEET, as well as all its dependencies, can be done using pip:
