        This Strawberry Fields plugin library allows Strawberry Fields to interface with OpenFermion.
        
        `Strawberry Fields <http://github.com/XanaduAI/strawberryfields>`_ is a full-stack Python library for
        designing, simulating, and optimizing continuous variable (CV) quantum optical circuits.
        
        `OpenFermion <http://openfermion.org>`_ is an open source package for compiling and analyzing
        quantum algorithms that simulate fermionic systems.
        
        
        Features
        ========
        
        * Construct bosonic Hamiltonians in OpenFermion, and apply the resulting time propagation using  a CV quantum circuit.
        
        * Calculates the time-evolution unitary exactly for Gaussian Hamiltonians – these can then be decomposed into the base CV gate set of Strawberry Fields using the Bloch-Messiah decomposition.
        
        * Particular non-Gaussian gate decompositions, using the Trotter formula, are also supported, including Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians.
        
        * The Hamiltonians submodule contains important OpenFermion-compatible CV Hamiltonians, including those corresponding to the gate set used in Strawberry Fields.
