mbqc-scheduling 0.1.0

Qubit scheduling in Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC).

Python wrapper around mbqc_scheduling crate

This package provides an interface to the the mbqc_scheduling crate. It is usually used together with the Pauli tracker package.

Documentation

To the docs

Since this here is mainly a wrapper, we did not document everything extensively, but rather refer to the documentation of the underlying Rust crates, for now.

Examples

See examples/simple.py for a very basic example. examples/compile_flow.py is a specific example describing how the Pauli tracking and the scheduling can be used when combining/stitching graphs that, for example, represent parts of a larger circuit (it's a specific example for the project for which this library was initially developed).

Installation

You can install the package from PyPI, e.g., with

pip install mbqc-scheduling

The package contains pre-built wheels for manylinux_2_28_x86_64 (works on most Linux distribuitions), latest Windows and latest MacOS (latest with respect to when the package was built) for Python 3.8 to 3.12. Additionally, there is an manylinux_2_28_x86_64 abi3 wheel for Python >= 3.8. You can also build the package from source, e.g., force it during a pip install with pip install --no-binary mbqc-scheduling mbqc-scheduling, however, note that this requires Python >= 3.8 and a Rust toolchain >= 1.65.

At the moment, you may also find a more up-to-date wheel in the artifacts of the latest "pypackage" github actions workflow; this is unstable though.

Manually Building

The package has to be build with maturin. The make package commands builds it through a docker container such that it is compatible with manylinux_2_28_x86_64 for Python >= 3.8. With make update_docs the documentation can be build. The output of both make commands is in the dist directory.

Versioning

The Python package follows SemVer, however, the underlying Rust crate is unstable.
