Files overview & Hello world

This video will introduce the three files required for a SquidASM simulation and show how to run a “hello world” level application in SquidASM using a code tutorial.

Main takeaways

• One should be able to create and run your own “hello world” level application.
• One should have a rough understanding of the purpose of these files:
  • Application.py : The file containing the programs that make up the application.
  • Run_simulation.py: The file that combines both the application and network and runs the simulation
  • Config.yaml: The file describing the quantum network

Further thinking

In the line `q1.cnot(q2)` where `q1` and `q2` are Qubit objects, `q1` is the target qubit and `q2` is the control qubit for this CNOT gate. True or False?
