qiskit-mps-initializer 0.1.0

Wavefunction initializers for Qiskit based of matrix product states (MPS)

Dev guide

• Make sure you have uv installed. You can use the included dev container.
• Run uv sync in the directory to set up the venv.

Now you can start developing some code!

For runing the tests, you should run

uv run pytest

to run pytest inside the venv.

Notes

Todo

• remove manually added # type: ignore expressions

Other

• scipy-stubs's python 3.10 reqiuirement is keeping this project's python requirement to go down to 3.9.
• typing.Self was introduced in python 3.11. Thus we are forced to use 3.11 at the moment.
