The PennyLane-Qrack plugin integrates the Qrack quantum computing framework with PennyLane’s quantum machine learning capabilities.

Performance can benefit greatly from following the Qrack repository “Quick Start” and “Power user considerations.”

This plugin is addapted from the PennyLane-Qulacs plugin, under the Apache License 2.0, with many thanks to the original developers!

PennyLane is a cross-platform Python library for quantum machine learning, automatic differentiation, and optimization of hybrid quantum-classical computations.

unitaryfund/qrack (formerly vm6502q/qrack) is a software library for quantum computing, written in C++ and with GPU support.

PennyLane Catalyst provides optional quantum just-in-time (QJIT) compilation, for improved performance.

Features

  • Provides access to a PyQrack simulator backend via the qrack.simulator device

  • Provides access to a (C++) Qrack simulator backend for Catalyst (also) via the qrack.simulator device

  • Provides access to a PyQrack near-Clifford simulator backend via the qrack.stabilizer device

  • Provides access to a PyQrack simulator backend optimized for large-scale approximate simulation via the qrack.ace device

Installation

This plugin requires Python version 3.9 or above, as well as PennyLane and the Qrack library.

Installation of this plugin as well as all its Python dependencies can be done using pip (or pip3, as appropriate):

$ pip3 install pennylane-qrack

This step should automatically build the latest main branch Qrack library, for Catalyst support, if Catalyst support is available.

Dependencies

PennyLane-Qrack requires the following libraries be installed:

as well as the following Python packages:

with optional functionality provided by the following Python packages:

If you currently do not have Python 3 installed, we recommend Anaconda for Python 3, a distributed version of Python packaged for scientific computation.

Tests

To test that the PennyLane-Qrack plugin is working correctly you can run

$ make test

in the source folder.
