Does something like Quirk exist for topological (eg. braided) circuits?
Alternatively, any ideas on how @CraigGidney is getting these circuits (or something similar)?

@CraigGidney any thoughts? – user820789 Jul 20 '18 at 02:31

2Those figures were created manually with sketchup, which is a 3d modelling tool. There was no simulation involved, only careful application of known rules. I have been working on a tool to both edit and simulate the braids, but it is very incomplete at the moment. And it may switch paradigms completely (to lattice surgery) before advancing more. – Craig Gidney Jul 24 '18 at 13:53

@CraigGidney You are awesome!! Thank you for all your contributions to open source quantum software! – user820789 Jul 24 '18 at 23:55

@CraigGidney Would you consider posting an answer so that I may accept it? Alternatively, I can self-answer based on your comment. – user820789 Nov 04 '18 at 20:52

There is QTop which is an open-source project that can simulate but also visualize topological quantum codes.
