qibolab 0.2.0

Quantum hardware module and drivers for Qibo

Qibolab

Qibolab is the dedicated Qibo backend for the automatic deployment of quantum circuits on quantum hardware.

Some of the key features of Qibolab are:

• Deploy Qibo models on quantum hardware easily.
• Create experimental drivers for custom lab setup.
• Support multiple heterogeneous platforms.
• Use calibration procedures from Qibocal.

Minimum working example

A simple example on how to connect to a platform and use it execute a pulse sequence:

from qibolab import create_platform

# Define platform and load specific runcard
platform = create_platform("my_platform")

# Create a pulse sequence based on native gates of qubit 0
natives = platform.natives.single_qubit[0]
sequence = natives.RX() | natives.MZ()

# Connects to lab instruments using the details specified in the calibration settings.
platform.connect()

# Execute a pulse sequence
results = platform.execute([sequence], nshots=1000)

# Grab the acquired shots corresponding to
# the measurement using its pulse id.
# The ``PulseSequence`` structure is list[tuple[ChannelId, Pulse]]
# thererefore we need to index it appropriately
# to get the acquisition pulse
readout_id = sequence.acquisitions[0][1].id
print(results[readout_id])

# Disconnect from the instruments
platform.disconnect()

Arbitrary pulse sequences can also be created using the pulse API:

from qibolab import (
    Acquisition,
    Delay,
    Gaussian,
    Pulse,
    PulseSequence,
    Readout,
    Rectangular,
)

# Crete some pulses
pulse = Pulse(
    amplitude=0.3,
    duration=40,
    relative_phase=0,
    envelope=Gaussian(rel_sigma=0.2),  # Gaussian shape with std = 0.2 * duration
)
delay = Delay(duration=40)
readout = Readout(
    acquisition=Acquisition(duration=2000),
    probe=Pulse(
        amplitude=0.9,
        duration=2000,
        envelope=Rectangular(),
        relative_phase=0,
    ),
)

# Add them to a PulseSequence
sequence = PulseSequence(
    [
        (1, pulse),  # pulse plays on channel 1
        (2, delay),  # delay and readout plays on channel 2
        (2, readout),
    ]
)

Here is another example on how to execute circuits:

from qibo import gates, models, set_backend

# Create circuit and add native gates
c = models.Circuit(1)
c.add(gates.GPI2(0, phi=0.2))
c.add(gates.M(0))


# Simulate the circuit using numpy
set_backend("numpy")
result = c(nshots=1024)
print(result.probabilities())

# Execute the circuit on hardware
set_backend("qibolab", platform="my_platform")
result = c(nshots=1024)
print(result.probabilities())
