Quanthon 0.4.0

A quantum computing library

Quanthon

A minimal Python library for quantum computing, for physicists!

Installation

Using PIP:

pip3 install Quanthon

Get Started

Importing the Module

import Quanthon as qt

Initializing a Single Qubit

Initialize a single qubit by creating an instance of the Qubits class.

qubit = qt.Qubits(1)

Applying Quantum Gates

Quanthon supports various quantum gates like the Hadamard (H), Pauli-X (X), Pauli-Y (Y), and Pauli-Z (Z) gates.

# Apply a Hadamard gate on the first qubit
qubit.H(0)

# Apply a Pauli-X gate on the first qubit
qubit.X(0)

# Apply a Pauli-Y gate on the first qubit
qubit.Y(0)

# Apply a Pauli-Z gate on the first qubit
qubit.Z(0)

Performing Quantum Measurements

You can perform quantum measurements on your qubit system with a specific number of shots.

result = qubit.measure(n_shots=10)

Working with Multiple Qubits

Use the Qubits class for all states.

from Quanthon import Qubits

# Initialize a 2-qubit system
two_qubits = Qubits(2)

# Initialize an n-qubit system
n = 4
n_qubits = Qubits(n)

CNOT and SWAP Operations for Multiple Qubits

Quanthon allows you to perform CNOT and SWAP operations on multi-qubit systems.

# Perform a CNOT operation between the first and second qubit
two_qubits.CONT(0, 1)

two_qubits.SWAP(0, 1)

New in 0.3.6:

Added pauli_decomposition for matrices of size $2^n \times 2^n$.

from Quanthon import pauli_decomposition

Previous Version Releases

0.3.5:

• VQE now supports non-Hermitian 'Hamiltonians', but why would you ever need it?
