This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Azure Quantum
Azure Quantum is Microsoft's cloud service for running Quantum Computing circuits or solving Optimization problems with our quantum partners and technologies. The azure-quantum package for Python provides functionality for interacting with Azure Quantum workspaces,
including creating jobs, listing jobs, and retrieving job results. For more information, view the Azure Quantum Documentation.
This package supports submitting quantum circuits or problem definitions written with Python. To submit quantum programs written with Q#, Microsoft's Domain-specific language for Quantum Programming, view Submit Q# Jobs to Azure Quantum.
Installation
The package is released on PyPI and can be installed via pip:
pip install azure-quantum
To use azure-quantum for submitting quantum circuits expressed with Qiskit, install with optional dependencies:
pip install azure-quantum[qiskit]
To use azure-quantum for submitting quantum circuits expressed with Cirq, install with optional dependencies:
pip install azure-quantum[cirq]
Getting started and Quickstart guides
To work in Azure Quantum, you need an Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account. Follow the Create an Azure Quantum workspace how-to guide to set up your Workspace and enable your preferred providers.
To get started, visit the following Quickstart guides:
- Quickstart: Submit a circuit with Qiskit
- Quickstart: Submit a circuit with Cirq
- Quickstart: Submit a circuit with a provider-specific format.
- Quickstart: Solve a simple optimization problem.
General usage
To connect to your Azure Quantum Workspace, go to the Azure Portal, navigate to your Workspace and copy-paste the resource ID and location into the code snippet below.
from azure.quantum import Workspace
# Enter your Workspace details (resource ID and location) below
workspace = Workspace(
resource_id="",
location=""
)
List all targets
To list all targets that are available to your workspace, run
workspace.get_targets()
Submit a quantum circuit or optimization problem
First, define a quantum circuit or optimization problem, and create a job by submitting it to one of the available targets:
# Enter target name below
target = workspace.get_targets("")
# Submit quantum circuit or optimization problem
job = target.submit(problem)
# Wait for job to complete and fetch results
result = job.get_results()
