Cirq is a Python library for writing, manipulating, and optimizing quantum
circuits and running them against quantum computers and simulators.

Installation
------------

Follow these
`instructions <https://cirq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html>`__.

Hello Qubit
-----------

A simple example to get you up and running:

.. code-block:: python

import cirq

# Pick a qubit.
qubit = cirq.GridQubit(0, 0)

# Create a circuit
circuit = cirq.Circuit.from_ops(
cirq.X(qubit)**0.5, # Square root of NOT.
cirq.measure(qubit, key='m') # Measurement.
)
print("Circuit:")
print(circuit)

# Simulate the circuit several times.
simulator = cirq.google.XmonSimulator()
result = simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=20)
print("Results:")
print(result)

Example output:

.. code-block:: bash

Circuit:
(0, 0): ───X^0.5───M('m')───
Results:
m=11000111111011001000

--------

For those interested in using quantum computers to solve problems in
chemistry and materials science, we encourage exploring
`OpenFermion <https://github.com/quantumlib/openfermion>`__ and
its sister library for compiling quantum simulation algorithms in Cirq,
`OpenFermion-Cirq <https://github.com/quantumlib/openfermion-cirq>`__.

Disclaimers
----------
**Cirq is currently in alpha.** We are still making breaking changes, and we *will* break your code when we make new releases. We recommend that you pin a specific version of cirq in `requirements.txt` files, and periodically bump to the latest release. That way you have control over when a breaking change affects you.
