RevKit 3.1 is a Python quantum compilation library. RevKit is based on the C++
libraries tweedledum and
caterpillar (as well as other C++
libraries from the
EPFL logic synthesis libraries),
and exposes their functionality by means of simple Python APIs. It also
contains the module revkit.export with several functions for interoperability
with other quantum programming languages and frameworks.
The following example creates a quantum circuit that computes the oracle
function (a ∧ b) ⊕ (c ∧ d) onto an ancilla qubit.
from revkit import netlist, oracle_synth, truth_table
import revkit.export.qiskit
function = truth_table.from_expression("[(ab)(cd)]") # (a ∧ b) ⊕ (c ∧ d)
circuit = oracle_synth(function)
qcircuit = circuit.to_qiskit()From PyPi (not yet available)

A very recent C++ compiler with support for C++ 17 is required to build RevKit.
If compilation with the default compiler on your system does not work, try to
setting the CC environment variable to a more recent compiler.
RevKit has a 10-year long history. The rapidly changing requirements for quantum computing also influenced RevKit, such that it was redesigned several times. Previous versions of RevKit can be found online, but are no longer maintained. Since version 3.1, RevKit does no longer exist as a standalone command line application, but solely as a Python library, with the focus of an easy integration with other Python-based quantum programming frameworks. In order to access the various functionality in other applications, the libraries tweedledum and caterpillar can be used directly instead.
RevKit is based on the EPFL logic synthesis libraries. The other libraries and several examples on how to use and integrate the libraries can be found in the logic synthesis tool showcase.
