BB84

A jupyter notebook containing a BB84 implementation for my QIC course mini-project.

How to run

Install venv

First, you need to install the venv module using pip. Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

Windows:

python -m pip install virtualenv

MacOS/Linux:

pip install virtualenv

Create a virtual environment

Navigate to the directory where you want to create your virtual environment. Then, run the following commands based on your operating system:

Windows:

python -m venv myenv

MacOS/Linux:

python3 -m venv myenv

This command creates a directory named myenv that contains the virtual environment.

Activate the Virtual Environment

After creating the virtual environment, you need to activate it.

Windows:

Open Command Prompt and run:

myenv\Scripts\activate

MacOS/Linux:

Open your terminal and run:

source myenv/bin/activate

Once activated, your command prompt will change to show the name of the active environment (e.g., (myenv)).

Install Packages from requirements.txt

Windows:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

This should startup a local jupyter notebook, from which you can open and run the bb84 notebook.
