The Rigetti Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM) is an open-source simulator for Quil, Q#, and Qiskit programs.

Rigetti targets correspond to a QIR Base profile.

All Rigetti targets accept rigetti.quil.v1 and rigetti.qir.v1 input formats.

Rigetti simulators and hardware targets don't support Cirq programs.

The rigetti.sim.qvm target runs a Quil program as text in the cloud and returns simulated results.
