A process is defined as a `@resumable` function that yields events, allowing for efficient resource allocation and the expression of protocols that pause until specific conditions are met. These features are essential for implementing waiting mechanisms, such as waiting for messages or changes in a quantum state. diff --git a/docs/src/index.md b/docs/src/index.md index da267be..a222800 100644 --- a/docs/src/index.md +++ b/docs/src/index.md @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ end A multi-formalism simulator for noisy quantum communication and computation hardware with support for symbolic algebra, multiple simulation backends, a variety of noise models, discrete event simulation, optimization, and visualization. -We are also preparing a [getting started manual](@ref manual). +To install QuantumSavory, see: [getting started manual](@ref manual).
