WARNING: no backward compatibility guarantee until version 1.0.0

keyword: quantum information, numpy, pytorch, manifold optimization, trivialization

Quickstart

more detailed installation instructions see docs/installation

pip install numqi

A simple example to detect whether Bell state wiki is entangle or not using positive partial transpose (PPT) criteria.

import numqi
bell_state = numqi.state.Werner(d=2, alpha=1)
print(bell_state) #a numpy array
# [[ 0.   0.   0.   0. ]
#  [ 0.   0.5 -0.5  0. ]
#  [ 0.  -0.5  0.5  0. ]
#  [ 0.   0.   0.   0. ]]
print(numqi.entangle.is_ppt(bell_state, (2,2))) #True if seperable, False if entangled
# False
