qec-loss 0.1.1

Sample lossy quantum error correction code.

Simulations of QEC codes with loss

Python package for sampling and decoding quantum error correction circuits with photon loss.

Install

From pypi:

pip install qec-loss
# or with uv
uv add qec-loss

Local install

Please first install uv.

git submodule update --init --recursive
uv pip install -e . --no-build-isolation --group dev
uv run pre-commit install

The last command installs a git pre-commit hook that runs ruff format on Python and clang-format on C++ under src/qec_loss/_native/.

To format everything manually:

uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Quick start

import stim
from qec_loss import LossyCircuit, ForwardSampler, MonakaBuilder, add_loss_noise

stim_circuit = stim.Circuit.generated(
    "surface_code:rotated_memory_z", rounds=5, distance=5
)
circuit = add_loss_noise(stim_circuit, loss_after_2_qubit_gate=0.01)

sampler = ForwardSampler(circuit, seed=7)
batch = sampler.sample(1000)

builder = MonakaBuilder(circuit, model_path="/tmp/monaka")
predictions = builder.decode_batch(batch)

See docs/api.md for the full API.
