toqito: Theory of Quantum Information Toolkit

The toqito package is an open-source Python library for studying various objects in quantum information, namely, states, channels, and measurements.

Specifically, toqito focuses on providing numerical tools to study problems about entanglement theory, nonlocal games, matrix analysis, and other aspects of quantum information that are often associated with computer science.

toqito aims to fill the needs of quantum information researchers who want numerical and computational tools for manipulating quantum states, measurements, and channels. It can also be used as a tool to enhance the experience of students and instructors in classes about quantum information.

Getting Started

toqito is available via PyPi for Linux, and macOS, with support for Python 3.10 to 3.12.

(venv) $ pip install toqito

The following code gives an example on the usage:

# Calculate the classical and quantum value of the CHSH game.
import numpy as np
from toqito.nonlocal_games.xor_game import XORGame

# The probability matrix.
prob_mat = np.array([[1/4, 1/4], [1/4, 1/4]])

# The predicate matrix.
pred_mat = np.array([[0, 0], [0, 1]])

# Define CHSH game from matrices.
chsh = XORGame(prob_mat, pred_mat)

chsh.classical_value()
# 0.75
chsh.quantum_value()
# 0.8535533

Detailed documentation on all available methods, options, and input formats is available at ReadTheDocs.
