qlass 0.1.1

VQE on linear optical circuits

qlass

qlass is a package to compile quantum algorithms on photonic devices. Part of the Quantum Glass-based Photonic Integrated Circuits (QLASS) project funded by the European Union.

Installing qlass

The development install of qlass requirements can be done by setting the working directory to the top level of the repository and running pip install -e .. QLASS builds upon open-source scientific software packages in Python: scipy for numerical optimization, pyscf and qiskit-nature for quantum chemistry, qiskit for quantum computing, and perceval for quantum photonics compilation.

Getting started

You can use this notebook on the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) to get started with the QLASS package.

Documentation

The main functions of the package are commented using the Google style format.

Contributing

qlass is developed by the Unitary Foundation, in collaboration with QLASS performers.
