qiskit-alice-bob-provider 0.1.0

Provider for running Qiskit circuits on Alice & Bob QPUs and simulators

Alice & Bob Qiskit provider

This project contains a provider that allows access to Alice & Bob QPUs from the Qiskit framework.

Installation

You can install the provider using pip:

pip install qiskit-alice-bob-provider

pip will handle installing all the python dependencies automatically and you will always install the latest (and well-tested) version.

Use your Alice & Bob API key

To obtain an API key, please contact Alice & Bob.

You can initialize the Alice & Bob provider using your API key locally with:

from qiskit_alice_bob_provider import AliceBobProvider
ab = AliceBobProvider('MY_API_KEY')

Where MY_API_KEY is your API key to the Alice & Bob API.

print(ab.backends())
backend = ab.get_backend('SINGLE_CAT_SIMULATOR')

The backend can then be used like a regular Qiskit backend:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, execute

c = QuantumCircuit(1, 2)
c.initialize('+', 0)
c.measure_x(0, 0)
c.measure(0, 1)
job = execute(c, backend)
res = job.result()
print(res.get_counts())
