c12-callisto-clients 2.1.0

Different clients for access to the C12 simulator

c12-callisto-clients

c12-callisto-clients is a Python package with tools that enable a user to communicate with C12's Callisto emulator, whose purpose is to emulate operations on C12’s quantum computer hardware.

C12’s quantum computer is based on optimized spin qubits. The spin qubit is realized from electrons trapped in a double quantum dot suspended on a carbon nanotube embedded in a silicon nanofabricated circuit. C12’s spin qubits have high fidelity, scalability and connectivity because of the properties of the materials used.

Installing

From the PyPI repository

Run the following command inside your local Python environment:

pip install c12_callisto_clients

From the GitHub package

In order to run the package the best policy is to create a conda environment where all the necessary packages will be installed. To do that, we need to have conda installed (if that is not the case see conda installation).

1. Clone the GitHub repository into local folder:

   git clone https://github.com/c12qe/c12simulator-clients.git

2. Create the conda environment with the command:

   conda env create -f environment.yml

3. Then activate the conda environment with:

   conda activate c12_callisto_clients

4. And finally install the dependencies with

   poetry install

Usage

1. From the command line:

The application will run a circuit given in Open QASM format. In order to do that a user has to input a personal token that C12 can provide. All the parameters can be given as command line arguments:

python3 main.py --qasmfile {{PATH_TO_FILE_WITH_QASM_STR}} --token {{USER_AUTH_TOKEN}}

The additional argument --verbose can be added in order to see a more detailed output.

Details of the command structure can be obtained using command python3 main.py --help

2. From the installed package:

Jupyter notebooks are available at: notebooks
