qhub-quantum 1.5.1

SDK to interact with Kipu Quantum Hub quantum backends.

Kipu Quantum Hub Quantum SDK

The Kipu Quantum Hub Quantum SDK is for developing quantum circuits using Qiskit to be run on quantum devices provided by the Kipu Quantum Hub. This library is an extension for Qiskit. This means that you are able to seamlessly integrate and reuse your existing Qiskit code, leveraging the power and familiarity of a framework you are already accustomed to.

Getting Started

Check out the following guides on how to get started with Kipu Quantum Hub:

• Quickstart Guide
• SDK Reference

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• uv for development and dependency management

Installation

The package is released on PyPI and can be installed via pip:

pip install --upgrade qhub-quantum

To install a pre-release version, use the following command:

pip install --pre --upgrade qhub-quantum

Usage

Working with Qiskit Backends

You can execute a Qiskit circuit on a selected backend, retrieve its job object, and its results:

from qhub.quantum.sdk import HubQiskitProvider
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, transpile

# Initialize the provider
provider = HubQiskitProvider()

# Select a backend, full list of backends can be found at https://platform.planqk.de/quantum-backends
backend = provider.get_backend("azure.ionq.simulator")

# Create a Qiskit circuit
circuit = QuantumCircuit(3, 3)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.cx(1, 2)
circuit.measure(range(3), range(3))

# Transpile the circuit for the selected backend
circuit = transpile(circuit, backend)

# Execute the circuit on the selected backend
job = backend.run(circuit, shots=100)

# Monitor job status and get results
print(f"Status: {job.status()}")
print(f"Result: {job.result()}")

Working with Braket Devices

You can execute a Braket circuit on a selected device, retrieve its task object, and its results:

from braket.circuits import Circuit
from qhub.quantum.sdk import HubBraketProvider

# Select the IonQ Forte device
device = HubBraketProvider().get_device("aws.ionq.forte")

# Create a Braket circuit
circuit = Circuit().h(0).cnot(0, 1).cnot(1, 2)

# Execute the circuit with 100 shots
task = device.run(circuit, 100)

# Monitor task status and get results
print(f"Status: {task.state()}")
print(f"Result: {task.result()}")

Development

To create a new virtual environment, for example, run:

uv venv
uv sync

Then, to activate the environment:

source .venv/bin/activate

Update dependencies and lock files:

uv sync -U

Testing

Run the test suite with:

pytest

Linting

Lint and format with ruff:

ruff check .
ruff format .
