+# Anders & Briegel in Python
+
+Implementing Anders & Briegel "Fast simulation of stabilizer circuits using a graph state representation" in Python.
+
+Work in progress: use at your own risk.
+
+# Server
+
+The graph state can be visualized and edited in a browser using the built-in web server.
+
+To get a blank canvas, run `python server/server.py` and open `localhost:8000` in a web browser.
+
+<!--This can also be used to visualize the state of programs during execution. See `examples/visualize.py` for an example of how to do this.-->
