Qiskit provider for Quantum Inspire backends

Qiskit Quantum Inspire Provider

Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers at the level of circuits, algorithms, and application modules.

This project contains a provider that allows access to Quantum Inspire quantum systems.

Installation

You can install the provider using pip:

pip install qiskit-quantuminspire

Provider Setup

To instantiate the provider, make sure you have an access token then create a provider:

from qiskit_quantuminspire import QIProvider

provider = QIProvider()

Once the provider has been instantiated, it may be used to access supported backends:

# Show all current supported backends:
print(provider.backends())

# Get Quantum Inspire's simulator backend:
simulator_backend = provider.get_backend("qx_emulator")

Submitting a Circuit

Once a backend has been specified, it may be used to submit circuits. For example, running a Bell State:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

# Create a basic Bell State circuit:
qc = QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)
qc.measure([0, 1], [0, 1])

# Run the circuit on Quantum Inspire's platform:
job = simulator_backend.run(qc)

# Print the results.
print(job.result().get_counts())

# Get results with a different aggregation method when debiasing
# is applied as an error mitigation strategy
print(job.result(sharpen=True).get_counts())

# The simulator specifically provides the the ideal probabilities and creates
# counts by sampling from these probabilities. The raw probabilities are also accessible:
print(job.result().get_probabilities())

Running Tests

This package uses the pytest test runner, and other packages for mocking interfactions, reporting coverage, etc. These can be installed with poetry install.

To use pytest directly, just run:

tox -e test
