QuantumLaboratory 1.0.1

A Python library for quantum tests.

# QuantumLaboratory

**QuantumLaboratory** is an advanced and comprehensive Python library for simulating and experimenting with quantum computing. Built using powerful libraries like NumPy and SciPy, QuantumLaboratory enables you to work with qubits (using state vectors or density matrices), simulate multi-qubit circuits, apply standard and rotation gates, implement controlled multi-qubit operations, and model noise channels using Kraus operators. It also provides helper tools for tensor products, partial traces, and fidelity calculations between quantum states.

## Features

- **Qubit Representation:** Supports both pure states (state vectors) and mixed states (density matrices).
- **Multi-Qubit Circuits:** Simulate quantum circuits with multiple qubits. Start with an initial state |00…0⟩ and apply gates to individual or groups of qubits.
- **Quantum Gates:** Includes standard gates such as I, X, Y, Z, H, S, T and rotation gates (Rx, Ry, Rz).
- **Controlled Operations:** Implement controlled gates (e.g., CNOT) in your quantum circuits.
- **Noise Channels:** Simulate noise effects using amplitude damping and phase damping channels through Kraus operators.
- **Helper Tools:** Provides functions for tensor products, partial trace computation, and fidelity measurement between quantum states.

Quick Start

After installing QuantumLaboratory, you can start building quantum circuits and simulating experiments. Here are a few quick examples to get you started:

Example 1: Using the Qubit Class

from QuantumLaboratory import Qubit
from QuantumLaboratory import H  # Hadamard gate

# Create a qubit in the default state |0>
q = Qubit()

# Apply the Hadamard gate to put it into a superposition
q.apply_gate(H)
print("State of qubit after applying H:", q)

# Measure the qubit (collapsing its state)
result = q.measure()
print("Measurement result:", result)

Example 2: Using the QuantumCircuit Class

from QuantumLaboratory import QuantumCircuit, H, X

# Create a 2-qubit circuit
circuit = QuantumCircuit(num_qubits=2)

# Apply Hadamard gate on qubit 0
circuit.apply_gate(H, targets=0)

# Apply a controlled-X (CNOT) gate with qubit 0 as control and qubit 1 as target
circuit.apply_controlled_gate(X, control=0, target=1)

# Measure the circuit
outcome = circuit.measure()
print("Circuit measurement outcome:", outcome)

Example 3: Using the AdvancedQuantumCircuit and Noise Channels

from QuantumLaboratory import AdvancedQuantumCircuit, H, amplitude_damping_channel, X

# Create an advanced 2-qubit circuit using density matrix simulation
adv_circuit = AdvancedQuantumCircuit(num_qubits=2, use_density=True)

# Apply Hadamard gate on qubit 0
adv_circuit.apply_gate(H, targets=0)

# Apply a controlled-X (CNOT) gate with qubit 0 as control and qubit 1 as target
adv_circuit.apply_controlled_gate(X, control=0, target=1)

# Apply amplitude damping noise channel on qubit 1 (with gamma = 0.1)
gamma = 0.1
kraus_ops = amplitude_damping_channel(gamma)
adv_circuit.apply_noise_kraus(kraus_ops, targets=1)

# Measure the advanced circuit
outcome = adv_circuit.measure()
print("Advanced circuit measurement outcome:", outcome)

Usage Guide

Qubit

• Creation:

  • By default, a qubit is initialized in the |0⟩ state.
  • You can initialize a qubit with a custom state vector.
  • To use density matrix representation (mixed state), set use_density=True during initialization.

• Gate Application:

  • Use the apply_gate(gate) method to apply any quantum gate (2×2 matrix).

• Measurement:

  • The measure() method performs a projective measurement, collapsing the qubit state to either |0⟩ or |1⟩ and returning the result.

QuantumCircuit

• Creation:

  • Initialize a circuit with a specified number of qubits. The default initial state is |00…0⟩.

• Single-Qubit Gates:

  • Use apply_gate(gate, targets) where targets can be an integer or a list of indices.

• Controlled Gates:

  • Use apply_controlled_gate(gate, control, target) to apply a controlled operation (e.g., CNOT).

• Measurement:

  • The measure(targets=None) method measures the specified qubits. If no targets are specified, it measures all qubits.

AdvancedQuantumCircuit

• Additional Features:
  • Designed to simulate circuits using density matrices for more realistic noise modeling.
  • Supports noise channels via the apply_noise_kraus(kraus_ops, targets) method.

Noise Channels and Kraus Operators

• Noise Channels:

  • amplitude_damping_channel(gamma): Simulates amplitude damping with parameter gamma.
  • phase_damping_channel(gamma): Simulates phase damping.

• Kraus Operators:

  • Use the helper function apply_kraus_operators(rho, kraus_ops) to apply a list of Kraus operators to a density matrix.

Helper Functions

• Tensor Product:

  • tensor(*args) computes the tensor (Kronecker) product of multiple matrices or vectors.

• Partial Trace:

  • partial_trace(rho, keep, dims) computes the partial trace over specified subsystems.

• Fidelity:

  • fidelity(rho, sigma) calculates the fidelity between two density matrices.
