jaxquantum leverages JAX to enable the auto differentiable and (CPU, GPU, TPU) accelerated simulation of quantum dynamical systems, including tooling such as operator construction, unitary evolution and master equation solving. As such, jaxquantum serves as a QuTiP drop-in replacement written entirely in JAX.

This package also serves as an essential dependency for bosonic and qcsys. Together, these packages form an end-to-end toolkit for quantum circuit design, simulation and control.

Installation

jaxquantum is published on PyPI. So, to install the latest version from PyPI, simply run the following code to install the package:

pip install jaxquantum

For more details, please visit the getting started > installation section of our docs.

An Example

Here's an example of how to set up a simulation in jaxquantum.

from jax import jit
import jaxquantum as jqt
import jax.numpy as jnp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

omega_q = 5.0 #GHz
Omega = .1
g_state = jqt.basis(2,0) ^ jqt.basis(2,0)
g_state_dm = g_state.to_dm()

ts = jnp.linspace(0,5*jnp.pi/Omega,101)
c_ops = [0.1*jqt.sigmam()^jqt.identity(N=2)]

sz0 = jqt.sigmaz() ^ jqt.identity(N=2)

@jit
def Ht(t):
    H0 = omega_q/2.0*((jqt.sigmaz()^jqt.identity(N=2)) + (jqt.identity(N=2)^jqt.sigmaz()))
    H1 = Omega*jnp.cos((omega_q)*t)*((jqt.sigmax()^jqt.identity(N=2)) + (jqt.identity(N=2)^jqt.sigmax()))
    return H0 + H1


states = jqt.mesolve(g_state_dm, ts, c_ops=c_ops, Ht=Ht) 
szt = jnp.real(jqt.calc_expect(sz0, states))


fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, dpi=200, figsize=(4,3))
ax.plot(ts, szt)
ax.set_xlabel("Time (ns)")
ax.set_ylabel("<σz(t)>")
fig.tight_layout()

Core Devs: Shantanu A. Jha, Shoumik Chowdhury

This package was initially a small part of bosonic. In early 2022, jaxquantum was extracted and made into its own package. This package was briefly announced to the world at APS March Meeting 2023 and released to a select few academic groups shortly after. Since then, this package has been open sourced and developed while conducting research in the Engineering Quantum Systems Group at MIT with invaluable advice from Prof. William D. Oliver.
