source code - quantum program source code
@parser - transform source to the qcode internal program representation
qcode - internal program representation of source containing declarations,
macros, gates, register concept, measurements, etc
@compiler - transform internal program representation to a quantum gate
array
gate array - sequence of operations on qubits
@driver - feed the gate array to an implementation of a quantum computer
(physical or not)
quantum computer
The gate array is an ordered list of elements representing operations on the quantum computer. Each element is a named tuple. The type represent the operation and the fields which qubit to act on etc.
[
START(4),
X(3),
H(0),
H(2),
CNOT(1,2)
]
The driver takes a gate array as input, and outputs the values of the qubits, if measured. Ex:
(0, N/A, 1)
Available drivers are
| Driver | Description |
|---|---|
| drivers/vector | linear algebra driver |
| drivers/density | density matrix driver |
| drivers/qiskit | driver to run qc program using qiskit (https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit) which in turn support multiple backends (simulators as well as real qc devices) |
pip3 install ./
Run a quantum program in file examples/hadamard.qc with
qrun examples/hadamard.qc
or get more help with
qrun -h
Install for development in local env with
make env
and then use with
./env/bin/qrun
Run tests with
make check
make test
