Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Real quantum circuit simulator, VQE, molecular Hamiltonians, QM/MM forces, and MD via 21 tools.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dense-evolution": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "dense-evolution",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dense-evolution --env DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL=your-value -- uvx dense-evolution mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dense-evolution": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "dense-evolution",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "dense-evolution": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "dense-evolution",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • DENSE_EVOLUTION_KERNEL_URL env
    URL of the running Dense-Evolution Composer kernel. Start it first with 'dense-evolution serve' (requires the [composer] extra). Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8800.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Dense Evolution safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (8.1.52) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

▍ What It Is

Run up to 28 qubits in about 3 seconds, without crashing. Dense Evolution JIT-compiles statevector circuits through JAX XLA, automatically chunks and — past even that RAM ceiling — spills to disk when memory fills up, so a real simulation stays alive instead of OOM-ing.

📖 [Full documentation, API reference, and worked examples →](https://tatopenn-cell.github.io/Dense-Evolution/)

A local Streamlit dashboard and web-based Composer editor are also included — see Composer & MCP Server below.

⚠️ macOS + dense-evolution[qiskit] users

Qiskit's own QuantumCircuit.__init__ is known to segfault the whole process on macOS/arm64 (an upstream Qiskit bug, not something Dense-Evolution can fix from its side — see release v8.1.43 for the full reproduction). dense_evolution/interop.py now warns (RuntimeWarning, once per process) the first time you touch the Qiskit bridge on sys.platform == 'darwin', but it does not block — some Qiskit/macOS combinations may work fine. If you hit a crash, pip install dense-evolution[pennylane] gives the same circuit-interop functionality without constructing any Qiskit object.

▍ Quick Start

from dense_evolution import DenseSVSimulator, QASMParser

parse any OpenQASM 2.0 / 3.0 string -- single-qubit rotations, a barrier

(a real OpenQASM synchronization marker: parsed like hardware would, no

effect on the simulated state), then an entangling layer

qasm = """ OPENQASM 2.0; include "qelib1.inc"; qreg q[3]; rx(pi/3) q[0]; ry(pi/4) q[1]; h q[2]; barrier q; cx q[0], q[1]; cx q[1], q[2]; rz(pi/6) q[2]; """

parser = QASMParser() circuit = parser.parse(qasm)

sim = DenseSVSimulator(n_qubits=3) sim.run_circuit_jit(circuit.to_tuples())

probs = sim.get_probabilities() sv = sim.get_statevector()

probs = [0.3201 0.3201 0.0549 0.0549 0.0183 0.0183 0.1067 0.1067]

Noise:

import numpy as np

from dense_evolution import DenseSVSimulator, QASMParser, NoiseModel

qasm = 'OPENQASM 2.0; include "qelib1.inc"; qreg q[2]; h q[0]; cx q[0],q[1];' circuit = QASMParser().parse(qasm)

sim = DenseSVSimulator(n_qubits=2) sim.run_circuit_jit(circuit.to_tuples())

noisy_sv = NoiseModel.apply_to_sv(np.asarray(sim.sv), n=2, model='depolarizing', p=0.05, rng=np.random.default_rng(0)) np.abs(noisy_sv) ** 2

[0. 0.5 0.5 0. ]

VQE:

import jax

import jax.numpy as jnp from dense_evolution import QASMParser, circuit_to_energy_fn

qasm = 'OPENQASM 2.0; include "qelib1.inc"; qreg q[1]; ry(0.0) q[0];' circuit = QASMParser().parse(qasm) energy_fn, n_params = circuit_to_energy_fn(circuit, n_qubits=1) h = jnp.array([[1.0, 0.0], [0.0, -1.0]], dtype=jnp.complex128) # Pauli Z

theta = jnp.array([0.1]) grad_fn = jax.value_and_grad(energy_fn, argnums=0, has_aux=True) for _ in range(40): (energy, sv), grad = grad_fn(theta, h) theta = theta - 0.5 * grad

energy = -1.0, theta = [3.14159265]

Mitigation (ZNE):

import dense_evolution as de

e1, e2, e3 = 1.234, 0.876, 0.611 # values at 1x, 2x, 3x noise de.zero_noise_extrapolation([e1, e2, e3], [1.0, 2.0, 3.0])

Dashboard (local, Streamlit):

pip install "dense-evolution[dashboard]"  # JAX already included by default

streamlit run tools/dashboard/app.py

Anti-OOM for large circuits:

from dense_evolution import Chunk, QASMParser

qasm = 'OPENQASM 2.0; include "qelib1.inc"; qreg q[27]; h q[0:27];' circuit = QASMParser().parse(qasm)

sim = Chunk(27) sim.run_chunk(circuit.to_tuples(), chunk_size_gates=500)


▍ Key Features

  • JIT-fused statevector engine. No Kronecker-product overhead — stride-sliced linear kernel fusion compiled through JAX XLA, real GPU/TPU dispatch with no code change. Simulator · MPS backend for low-entanglement circuits at scale.
  • Anti-OOM `Chunk` engine. Circuits too large for one array, split dynamically and sized off the real compute device's own free memory — with disk-backed overflow past even that ceiling. Chunk guide.
  • Real noise, real mitigation. Stochastic Kraus channels, real-device noise imported from Qiskit backends, and Zero-Noise Extrapolation, with the shot budget split optimally across noise factors and a single-qubit Bloch-vector variant that always returns a valid state, to correct for it. Noise · Mitigation · what noise/mitigation/healing each mean.
  • Differentiable VQE, from scratch. circuit_to_energy_fn is the same JAX-differentiable engine real molecular VQE runs on — real Hartree-Fock Hamiltonians, UCCSD/hardware-efficient ansätze, Adam optimization. Autodiff.
  • libcint integrals on Windows, macOS and Linux. pip install dense-evolution ships libcint compiled for each system: the full two-electron tensor of ethanol in 6-31G* in 0.32 s. Open-shell molecules with UHF and ROHF (run_uhf, run_cuhf). native_hf.
  • Reversible arithmetic. Register adders, subtraction, comparisons and modular arithmetic up to modular exponentiation, applied as exact basis permutations, and as OPENQASM 2.0 gate circuits (Cuccaro, Draper and Beauregard adders, controlled modular multiplication), up to Shor order finding with one control qubit. Arithmetic.
  • Postselection. Keep the branch where a qubit is found in |0>, |1>, |±> or |±i>, with its probability. Postselection.
  • OpenQASM 2.0/3.0, both directions. A real parser, plus Qiskit/PennyLane interop bridges. QASM Parser · Interop.
  • Code-agnostic QEC decoding, Majorana/Jordan-Wigner fermion mapping, from-scratch Hartree-Fock for elements outside PennyLane's own basis set, a traversable-wormhole-inspired teleportation protocol, and real QM/MM region partitioning (ring-safe BFS, Diffuse2Seg-derived relevance propagation) — see the full API reference for all of it.

▍ Benchmarks

Measured on Windows, CPU only, 8 GB RAM — PennyLane's default.qubit allocates the full statevector; Dense Evolution's Chunk holds constant ~2 GB regardless of qubit count.

On Google Colab (12 GB RAM), n=28 runs in ~3s end-to-end (JIT-compiled, num_chunks=2) — the multi-chunk path is fast, not just OOM-safe. Past the real RAM ceiling (Chunk alone raises MemoryPressureError cleanly rather than crashing the process), allow_disk_overflow=True falls back to a slower disk-backed path instead of failing — correctness-first, not benchmarked for speed yet.
