I think we can improve a few things, overall I think this redesign is great and what we needed. Thank you for pushing this forward.
You probably have done it already, but think about how your design will be able to handle the multiplication of simulators / backends coming from Cirq, Qiskit, Qualms etc that we may want to support, as well as new simulator frameworks that simply have not been integrated to Tangelo at all.

I apologize, I reviewed a bit too quickly the first time and I think your Simulator wrapper function requires work.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to think about this design change, which brings out some subtleties we hadn't faced before.

A number of improvements to make. I want to recognize that this PR is getting a lot of comments because:
- you are introducing several non-trivial badass features
- you are introducing patterns we haven't used before, therefore learning and challenging us and yourself.
As far as I'm concerned, this is an amazing PR. Please keep up the good work and take us to the finish line.

I reviewed only the big picture, and I like the modularity it will bring. While looking at TrueFalseSimulator
, it seems easy to implement another backend rapidly.

I swear we are getting there.
We are currently importing a class (SimulatorBase
) but in reality we just need a function that does not care at all about anything class-related. Instead let's define and import a standalone function. The SimulatorBase
can then use that function to implement a method with the same name, and that method can then be automatically leveraged by the children classes, as it currently does. Let's make that method available at the right level of the package using the __init__
files.
This way we have no loss of functionality, and the imports are straightforward. This also means we never need to instantiate SimulatorBase
, which is intended to just be a base class for target simulators. Everything seems to fit into place with a clear role, which is a sign of a good design.

Makes each target it's own class with SimulatorBase as a parent class. The majority of the code is copied/pasted.
