quantum-xir 0.2.2

Description:

quantumxir 0.2.2

XIR is an intermediate representation language for quantum circuits.

Features


Simple. Easy to learn, write, and understand.


Modular. Compose observables, gates, and entire XIR programs.


Flexible. Declare or define your own gates and observables.


Installation
XIR requires Python version 3.7 or above. Installation of XIR, as well as all
dependencies, can be done using pip:
pip install quantum-xir

Examples
A curated selection of XIR scripts can be found in the Examples page of the Sphinx documentation; however, the example below demonstrates a general overview of the syntax:
// Include additional script
use my_declarations;

// Declare custom gates
gate RX(theta) [w1];
gate RY(theta) [w1];
gate RZ(theta) [w1];
gate Toffoli [w1, w2, w3];

// Declare a function
func sin(x);

// Declare observables
obs X [w1]; obs Y [w1]; obs Z [w1];

// Declare outputs
out sample(shots) [0..8];
out expval(observable) [w1, w2];
out amplitude(state) [0..8];

// Define a composite gate.
gate R3T(theta)[a, b, c, d]:
RX(theta: -2.3932854391951004) | [a];
RY(theta) | [b];
RZ(pi / sin(3 * 4 / 2 - 2)) | [c];
Toffoli | [b, c, d];
end;

// Define an observable.
obs XYZ [w1, w2]:
-1.6, X[w1];
0.73, Y[w1] @ Z[w2];
end;

// Apply the gate twice.
R3T(1.23) | [0, 1, 2, 3];
R3T(theta: 3.21) | [4..8];

// Compute various outputs.
sample(shots: 1000) | [0..8];
expval(observable: XYZ) | [0, 3];
amplitude(state: [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1]) | [0..8];
