Gate based computing

Gate-based quantum emulators can be split in several categories:

QPU Emulators

	Ideal Computation	Noisy Computation
Exact Representation	PyLinalg, CLinalg, DLinAlg	DNoisy
Approximate Representation	N.A. [1]	N.A. [1]

A complete list of these QPUs can be found qat.qpus.

[1] (1,2)

The full Qaptiva appliance contains a variety of QPUs, comprising all of those categories, as for instance QPUs using approximate representations such as Matrix Product State (MPS) capable of simulating physical noise.
