This paper introduces QuanTree v1.1 and QuanLin v1.1, two Java applications available for free. (Source code included in the distribution.) Each application compiles a different type of input quantum evolution operator. The applications output a quantum circuit that is approximately equal to the input evolution operator. QuanTree compiles an input evolution operator whose Hamiltonian is proportional to the incidence matrix of a balanced, binary tree graph. QuanLin compiles an input evolution operator whose Hamiltonian is proportional to the incidence matrix of a line (open string) graph. Both applications also output an error, defined as the distance in the Frobenius norm between the input evolution operator and the output quantum circuit.
