contents Classical methods to simulate quantum systems are not only a key element of the physicist's toolkit for studying many-body models but are also increasingly important for verifying and challenging upcoming quantum computers. Pauli propagation has recently emerged as a promising new family of classical algorithms for simulating digital quantum systems. Here we provide a comprehensive account of Pauli propagation, tracing its algorithmic structure from its bit-level implementation and formulation as a tree-search problem, all the way to its high-level user applications for simulating quantum circuits and dynamics. Utilising these observations, we present PauliPropagation.jl, a Julia software package that can perform rapid Pauli propagation simulation straight out-of-the-box and can be used more generally as a building block for novel simulation algorithms.
