Best numerical tools to simulate quantum circuits including noise and post-selection (Clifford only might be sufficient)

Best numerical tools to simulate quantum circuits including noise and post-selection (Clifford only might be sufficient) Ask Question Asked 8 days ago Modified 8 days ago Viewed 26 times 0 I am looking for a tool allowing to easily simulate noisy quantum circuits allowing for post-selection. Clifford only simulator might be enough for my purpose (but I want to know what exists in more general cases). I want to be able to easily reconstruct the whole density matrix at any in the circuit. In my case, I actually want to simulate noisy entanglement distillation protocols (they typically lie in my above constraints). What are the best tools to do this given my constraints? I know there is STIM (but apparently not ideal for circuits based on post selection). There is also qutip.
