Educational utilities and examples for Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) using PennyLane.

Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT)

Lightweight tools for experimenting with Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) and bounded polynomial transforms using PennyLane.

This repository combines:

• a notebook-first introduction to QSVT and QSP
• a reusable Python package for polynomial design, spectral transforms, and small PennyLane QSVT checks
• reproducible examples for scalar, matrix, PDE, and small physics workflows

The focus is spectral intuition: how bounded polynomials transform singular values or eigenvalues through block encodings.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install qsvt-pennylane

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/SidRichardsQuantum/Quantum_Singular_Value_Transformation.git
cd Quantum_Singular_Value_Transformation
pip install -e .

Requirements:

• Python >= 3.10
• PennyLane >= 0.36
• NumPy >= 1.23
• Matplotlib >= 3.7

Quick Example

Apply a scalar polynomial transform:

from qsvt.qsvt import qsvt_scalar_output

result = qsvt_scalar_output(
    x=0.5,
    poly=[0, 0, 1],  # x^2
    encoding_wires=[0],
)

Design a bounded sign polynomial and keep the diagnostics:

from qsvt.workflow import design_workflow

result = design_workflow(
    kind="sign",
    gamma=0.25,
    degree=13,
)

coeffs = result.coeffs
report = result.as_report()

Use the command line interface:

qsvt scalar --x 0.5 --poly "0,0,1"
qsvt design-workflow --kind sign --gamma 0.2 --degree 13

See USAGE.md for full Python and CLI workflows.

Notebooks

Tutorial notebooks live in notebooks/tutorials/ and introduce QSVT as polynomial functional calculus, from scalar transforms through sign functions, projectors, matrix functions, and reusable design workflows.

Real physics examples live in notebooks/real_examples/ and cover Hamiltonian simulation, ground-state filtering, quantum chemistry, Green's functions, spectral density estimation, Gibbs states, PDE systems, transport physics, spin-chain diagnostics, electronic occupations, photonic band gaps, graphene density of states, and tensor-network hybrid filtering.

See docs/qsvt/notebooks.md for the full notebook map.

Scope

This project is intentionally educational, explicit, simulator-friendly, and polynomial-focused.

It does not aim to provide production-scale circuit optimization, resource estimation, fault-tolerant constructions, amplitude amplification, or state preparation methods. The emphasis is understanding how polynomial transforms act on spectra.
