staq -- A full-stack quantum processing toolkit

Understand

We describe 'staq', a full-stack quantum processing toolkit written in standard C++.

• 'staq' is a quantum compiler toolkit, comprising of tools that range from quantum optimizers and translators to physical mappers for quantum devices with restricted connectives.
• The design of 'staq' is inspired from the UNIX philosophy of "less is more", i.e.
• 'staq' achieves complex functionality via combining (piping) small tools, each of which performs a single task using the most advanced current state-of-the-art methods.
