Code examples

Random Number Generation

# random.ket
def random(n_bits):
  with run():
     q = quant(n_bits)
     H(q)
     return measure(q).get()

n_bits = 32
print(n_bits, 'bits random number:', random(n_bits))

$ ket random.ket
32 bits random number: 3830764503

Quantum Teleportation:

# teleport.ket
def teleport(alice : quant) -> quant:
    alice_b, bob_b = quant(2)
    ctrl(H(alice_b), X, bob_b)

    ctrl(alice, X, alice_b)
    H(alice)

    m0 = measure(alice)
    m1 = measure(alice_b)

    if m1 == 1:
        X(bob_b)
    if m0 == 1:
        Z(bob_b)

    return bob_b

alice = quant(1)         # alice = |0⟩
H(alice)                 # alice = |+⟩
Z(alice)                 # alice = |–⟩
bob = teleport(alice)    # bob  <- alice
H(bob)                   # bob   = |1⟩
bob_m = measure(bob)

print('Expected measure 1, result =', bob_m.get())

$ ket teleport.ket
Expected measure 1, result = 1

Usage

$ ket -h
Ket program options:
  -h [ --help ]              Show this information.
  -o [ --out ]               KQASM output file.
  -s [ --kbw ]  (=127.0.0.1) Quantum execution (KBW) address.
  -p [ --port ]  (=4242)     Quantum execution (KBW) port.
  --seed                     Set RNG seed for quantum execution.
  --api-args                 Additional parameters for quantum execution.
  --no-execute               Does not execute KQASM, measurements return 0.
  --dump-to-fs               Use the filesystem to transfer dump data.

Installation
