QAT (Quantum Assembly Toolkit/Toolchain) is a low-level quantum compiler and runtime which facilitates executing quantum IRs such as QASM, OpenPulse and QIR against QPU drivers. It facilitates the execution of largely-optimised code, converted into abstract pulse-level and hardware-level instructions, which are then transformed and delivered to an appropriate driver.
For our full documentation check here.
Rasqal is our low-level hybrid runtime and optimizer, which powers our more advanced QIR features.
QAT can be installed from PyPI via:
pip install qat-compiler
If you are contributing to the project we recommend that you also run
poetry run pre-commit install
to enable pre-commit checks.
We use poetry for dependency management and run on
Python 3.8+.
Once both of these are installed run this in the root folder to install all the dependencies that you need: poetry install
Here's a list of what we're currently working on, if you want to get involved contact the person or group linked.
In-development:
- Classical-quantum hybrid computation. John Dumbell
- Runtime-embedded QEC. Jamie Friel
Designing / verifying suitability:
- Distributed QPU execution. John Dumbell
To-do:
- Full QASM v3 support. Currently waiting for available parsers.
