Worked on enhancing quantum simulation capabilities in the cda-tum/mqt-core repository by delivering improved virtual gate handling and simulation workflows. Focused on refactoring the management of virtual operations, such as SWAP gates, to streamline quantum circuit execution and increase simulation efficiency. Introduced a dedicated function for applying global phases and implemented a feasibility check to determine if operations could be executed virtually, reducing runtime errors and optimizing resource usage. Developed helper functions to support simulate and sample workflows, laying the foundation for more robust testing and scalable experimentation. Utilized C++ and applied skills in algorithm implementation and quantum computing.
