Cool! I am curious, how does it work and compare to other simulators like the ones from Bluequbit (https://www.bluequbit.io/free-quantum-simulator) and other similar ones?

This one looks like an exact simulator that handles exponential states, so it's far more limited in the number of qubits it can support.

If I'm understanding this correctly, it doesn't simulate any general purpose quantum circuit with 1000 qubits, only ones where there's a more efficient strategy than an exponential state where exact simulation is feasible.
