This is awesome. Over time I have came across too many posts claiming to explain QCs to hackers and they go on pages and pages without distilling this simple little thing. It would be great if you can also implement something like Shore's algo with your simulator.

You can, but it would be very slow! This implementation gets really really slow around 15/16 qubits.

I am currently working on implementing shors algorithm into my main, simulation library. I already have grovers algorithm! https://qcgpu.github.io/qcgpu-rust/book/algorithms/grover.ht...

Might it be caused by the use of slow matrix operation algorithms rather than the size?
