quantanium 1.14.1

Python wrapper for the MIMIQ Quantanium statevector engine.

Quantanium-python

Python Wrapper for the MIMIQ Quantanium statevector engine: CPU and GPU Backends.

• CPU backend (AVX): high-performance vectorized execution on AMD64 & ARM64 processors.
• GPU backend (NVIDIA cuStateVec/cuQuantum): accelerated statevector simulation using NVIDIA’s cuStateVec (part of cuQuantum).

Note: By default, Quantanium builds with CUDA/GPU support enabled.

Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure you have:

• Python (version 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12)
• Git installed on your system
• Virtual environment support (e.g., venv)

Supported Platforms

• Windows (AMD64)
• macOS (ARM64 Apple Silicon)
• Ubuntu / Debian-based Linux(x86_64)

Installation

Quantanium is implemented in C++, with a wrapper written in the Python programming language to enhance usability and ensure support with MIMIQ API. Quantanium distributes prebuilt Python wheels for Windows (AMD64), macOS(ARM), and Ubuntu(x86).

Installation Quantanium-python from Binary

Installation Steps:

create a new python environment:

python -m venv .quantanium_venv

activate your environment:

source .quantanium_venv/bin/acitvate

Download the latest release here: https://github.com/qperfect-io/quantanium-python/releases/latest

Extract the content of the zip file using

To install the wheel make sure to select the correct file for your system.

• the number after cp[NUM] in the name of the whl file must match your python version
• If you are using macos take the file with macos included in the name, otherwise take the file with manylinux. (not built for windows yet)

For example to install the wheels on ubuntu for python 3.12 run:

pip install  quantaniumpy-0.1.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl

Troubleshooting

• If installation fails, check that you have the correct Python version (python --version).
• Ensure all dependencies are installed.
• In some cases you should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Installation from Source

You can also build and install quantanium-python from source. Note, in this way, a g++ or clang++ compiler is necessary: make sure that the compiler installed.

In order to install quantanium-python from source, please follow the next set of instructions:

1. Clone this repository with

$ git clone [e-mail]:qperfect-io/quantanium-python.git
$ cd quantanium-python

2. Install quantanium-python locally 2.1 by default with GPU support:

pip install -e .

2.2 CPU-only (without GPU support):

pip install -e . --config-settings=cmake.define.QUANTANIUMPY_WITH_CUDA=OFF

Accessible Functions

All accessible functions are defined within the Quantanium class inside Quantanium.py. These include:

• convert_qasm_to_qua_circuit(qasm_file): Converts a QASM file to a qua::Circuit.
• convert_qua_to_mimiq_circuit(qua_circuit): Converts a qua::Circuit to a mimiq::Circuit.
• convert_mimiq_to_qua_circuit(mimiq_circuit): Converts a mimiq::Circuit back to a qua::Circuit.
• convert_qua_results_to_mimiq_results(qua_results): Converts qua::Results to mimiq::Results.
• execute(circuit, label="pyapi_v1.0", algorithm="auto", nsamples=1000, bitstrings=None, timelimit=300, bonddim=None, entdim=None, seed=None, qasmincludes=None): Executes the given circuit.

Quick Start

In order to start, you can use an example script from folder examples, e.g.:

$ python examples/example_qasm.py
