qio 0.2.5

Common quantum computing objects description and conversion library

qio

qio is a python package to smoothly manipulate quantum computing objects between client and server.

It handle all the conversion boilerplate to focus your dev on your quantum SDK and backend on real matters.

Installation

We encourage installing qio via the pip tool (a Python package manager):

pip install qio

Getting started

To leverage qio and get quick interoperability between your frontend and your backend, you simply need to use qio wrappers system.

Here a snippet code for cirq and qsim:

import cirq

from cirq.circuits import Circuit
from qsimcirq import QSimSimulator

from qio.core import (
    QuantumComputationModel,
    QuantumComputationParameters,
    QuantumProgramResult,
    QuantumProgram,
)

#############
# Client side

qc = _random_cirq_circuit(10)
shots = 100

program = QuantumProgram.from_cirq_circuit(qc)

model_json = QuantumComputationModel(
    programs=[program],
).to_json_str()

parameters_json = QuantumComputationParameters(
    shots=shots,
).to_json_str()

# Send this to server side

###########################
# Server / Computation side

model = QuantumComputationModel.from_json_str(model_json)
params = QuantumComputationParameters.from_json_str(parameters_json)

circuit = model.programs[0].to_cirq_circuit()

qsim_simulator = QSimSimulator()

qsim_result = qsim_simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=params.shots)

program_result = QuantumProgramResult.from_cirq_result(result).to_json_str()

# Send this to back to client side

#####################
# Back to client side

cirq_result = qresult.to_cirq_result()

qiskit_result = qresult.to_qiskit_result()
