Ket quantum programming language interpreter and library

Ket Quantum Programming

[[TOC]]

Ket is an embedded programming language that introduces the ease of Python to quantum programming, letting anyone quickly prototype and test a quantum application.

Python is the most widely used programming language for machine learning and data science and has been the language of choice for quantum programming. Ket is a Python-embedded language, but many can use it as a Python library in most cases. So you can use Ket together with NumPy, ScyPy, Pandas, and other popular Python libraries.

Ket's goal is to streamline the development of hardware-independent classical quantum applications by providing transparent interaction of classical and quantum data. See https://quantumket.org to learn more about Ket.

Installation :arrow_down:

Ket requires Python 3.7 or newer and is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS. If you are not using x86_64 (example ARM), you must install Rust before installing Ket.

You can install Ket using pip. To do so, copy and paste the following command into your terminal:

pip install ket-lang

Grover's Algorithm

from ket import *
from math import sqrt, pi


def grover(n: int, oracle) -> int:
    qubits = H(quant(n))
    steps = int((pi/4)*sqrt(2**n))
    for _ in range(steps):
        oracle(qubits)
        with around(H, qubits):
            phase_on(0, qubits)
    return measure(qubits).value


n = 8
looking_for = 13
print(grover(n, phase_on(looking_for)))
# 13

Shor's Algorithm

from ket import *
from ket.lib import qft
from ket.plugins import pown
from random import randint
from functools import reduce
from math import log2, gcd


def quantum_subroutine(N, x):
    n = N.bit_length()

    def subroutine():
        reg1 = H(quant(n))
        reg2 = pown(x, reg1, N)
        measure(reg2)
        adj(qft, reg1)
        return measure(reg1).value

    r = reduce(gcd, [subroutine() for _ in range(n)])
    return 2**n//r


def shor(N: int) -> int:
    if N % 2 == 0:
        return 2
    n = N.bit_length()
    y = int(log2(N))
    for b in range(2, n+1):
        x = y/b
        u1 = int(2**x)
        u2 = u1+1
        if u1**b == N:
            return u1
        elif u2**b == N:
            return u2

    for _ in range(N.bit_length()):
        x = randint(2, N-1)
        gcd_x_N = gcd(x, N)
        if gcd_x_N > 1:
            return gcd_x_N

        r = quantum_subroutine(N, x)

        if r % 2 == 0 and pow(x, r//2) != -1 % N:
            p = gcd(x**(r//2)-1, N)
            if p != 1 and p != N and p*N//p == N:
                factor = p
                break

            q = gcd(x**(r//2)+1, N)
            if q != 1 and q != N and q*N//q == N:
                factor = q
                break

    if factor is not None:
        return factor
    else:
        raise RuntimeError(f"fails to factor {N}")

N = 4063
p = shor(N)
q = N//p
print(f'{N}={p}x{q}')
# 4063=17x239

Quantum Teleportation

from ket import *
from ket import code_ket


def entangle(a: quant, b: quant):
    return cnot(H(a), b)


def teleport(quantum_message: quant, entangled_qubit: quant):
    adj(entangle, quantum_message, entangled_qubit)
    return measure(entangled_qubit), measure(quantum_message)


@code_ket
def decode(classical_message: tuple[int, int], qubit: quant):
    if classical_message[0] == 1:
        X(qubit)

    if classical_message[1] == 1:
        Z(qubit)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    from math import pi

    alice_message = phase(pi/4, H(quant()))

    alice_message_dump = dump(alice_message)

    alice_qubit, bob_qubit = entangle(*quant(2))

    classical_message = teleport(
        quantum_message=alice_message,
        entangled_qubit=alice_qubit
    )

    decode(classical_message, bob_qubit)

    bob_qubit_dump = dump(bob_qubit)

    print('Alice Message:')
    print(alice_message_dump.show())

    print('Bob Qubit:')
    print(bob_qubit_dump.show())
# Alice Message:
# |0⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.707107               ≅      1/√2
# |1⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.500000+0.500000i     ≅  (1+i)/√4
# Bob Qubit:
# |0⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.707107               ≅      1/√2
# |1⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.500000+0.500000i     ≅  (1+i)/√4

Ket Development :hammer:

Setup for Ket development:

git clone https://gitlab.com/quantum-ket/ket.git
cd ket
pip install -e . --user

If you are using VS Code, Ket has a Dev Container :whale:.

Roadmap :notebook_with_decorative_cover:

• Quantum gate decomposition.

• Quantum code optimization.

• Quantum circuit visualization.

• :zap: We plan to expand the quantum library with quantum algorithm building blocks like the qft.

• :package: Full quantum algorithm implementations must be packaged with Ket as a dependency.

• :x: Low-level quantum control, like pulse programming, is out of Ket's scope.
