Optical circuits in Qiskit. Translate Qiskit circuits to quantum-optical circuits made of phase shifters and beamsplitters, simulate the circuit, then translate the outcome back to a qubit encoding. The aim of this library is to introduce quantum optical technologies to QISKIT users.
QoptKIT capabilities:
- Create a circuit made of phase shifters and beamsplitters
- Create a simulator
- Run the simulation
- Translate a QoptKIT outcome into qubit encoding.
- Print the output statistics.
- Linux or MacOsX operating system
- C++ Compiler
- GNU Make
- Eigen 3
- Python3
- qiskit
pip install git+https://github.com/SOQCSADmin/QoptKIT
This library has various C++ files that have to be compiled. It is necessary to have installed a C++ compiler and the tools make and ar. These are standard tools available for any Linux distribution. Use you preferred package installer to have them available in your system. QoptKit also requires the C++ library Eigen 3 to be installed in your system. This library is also available in most of the Linux distributions.
Python libraries qiskit, matplotlib and numpy are required but they will be installed automatically. We recommend the use of conda but it is not required.
The documentation can be found in https://soqcsadmin.github.io/QoptKIT/
