It provides GPU-accelerated computation on NVIDIA CUDA hardware, enabling researchers and developers to build quantum simulators that leverage GPU parallelism for faster state vector manipulations and measurements.\n\nThe package is distributed as platform-specific wheels for Linux (x86_64 and aarch64) and requires CUDA 13 to be installed on the system. It has no Python runtime dependencies, meaning once installed, it provides direct access to the underlying C library. The documentation notes that for Python-level APIs, users should install the cuQuantum Python wrapper instead, suggesting this package is primarily a lower-level component.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing quantum simulators on NVIDIA CUDA 13 hardware and need GPU acceleration. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and fills a specialized role in the quantum computing ecosystem. However, verify the NVIDIA Proprietary Software license terms for your use case first, and confirm your system has CUDA 13 and a compatible GPU before installing."},"id":"custatevec-cu13","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/custatevec-cu13","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/custatevec-cu13.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/custatevec-cu13/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"custatevec-cu13","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"cuStateVec - a component of NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92754,"position":13430,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.14.0"}
