qiskit-qasm2 0.0.1

Importer for parsing OpenQASM 2 strings into Qiskit circuits

Importer from OpenQASM 2 to Qiskit

This repository provides the Python package qiskit_qasm2, which provides a fast parser of OpenQASM 2 into Qiskit's QuantumCircuit.

This package was mostly an excuse for me to learn a bit more about how lexers are written at a low level. This is why the Rust crate doesn't use any lexer-generation libraries.

Installation

Install the latest release of the qiskit_qasm2 package from pip:

pip install qiskit_qasm2

Developing

If you're looking to contribute to this project, please first read our contributing guidelines.

Set up your development environment by installing the development requirements with pip:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt tox

This installs a few more packages than the dependencies of the package at runtime, because there are some tools we use for testing also included, such as tox and pytest.

After the development requirements are installed, you can install an editable version of the package with

pip install -e .

After this, any changes you make to the library code will immediately be present when you open a new Python interpreter session.

Building documentation

After the development requirements have been installed, the command

tox -e docs

will build the HTML documentation, and place it in docs/_build/html. The documentation state of the main branch of this repository is published to https://jakelishman.github.io/qiskit-qasm2.

Code style and linting

The Python components of this repository are formatted using black. You can run this on the required files by running

The full lint suite can be run with
