qurrium 0.10.0

Qurry 🍛 - The Measuring Tool for Renyi Entropy, Loschmidt Echo, and Magnetization Squared, The Library of Some Common Cases

Qurry 🍛 - The python package for measuring quantum entanglement entropy and wave function overlap.

The python package that makes the randomized measurement easy.

The major function includes the measurement of quantum Renyi Entropy and Wave Function Overlap based on the randomized measurement protocol. When interfaced with IBM Qiskit, the package automates the workflow from creating experiment objects, job submission and recall and postprocessing.
There are several additional features, such as measurement of magnetization and error mitigation. Please check them out!

Installation

By PyPI - Stable Release

• The package can be found in pip list as qurrium-x.y.z
• Pip downloads the most stable release, but not necessarily the latest version.

pip install qurrium

By TestPyPI - Nightly Release

• This package can be found in pip list as qurry-x.y.z.devW
• This version includes new features and minor bug fixes, but may not be stable.

pip install qiskit tqdm requests
# the installation from testPyPI can' t find these dependencies
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ qurry

Maually by Git

Qurry can be installed from source. Since this package relies on Cython and Rust, it requires "C complier" and "Rust complier" which you need to install first.

To install rust, run the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Then install qurry by the following command:

git clone https://github.com/harui2019/qurry-preview.git --recursive
cd qurry
pip install -e .

Test Installation

pytest is used for testing. Simply run the following command after the installation:

pytest

Environment

Qurry currently SUPPORT qiskit 0.46.0+ and qiskit 1.0.0+, other lower versions are no longer available. The package has been tested on the following systems.

• Ubuntu 18.04+ LTS (All ManyLinux 2014 compatible distro)

  • on x86_64 (recommended)
  • on x86_64 Windows 10/11 WSL2 (recommended)
  • on aarch64
  • We strongly recommend to use Linux based systems because Python multiprocessing may exist issues on Windows and the NVIDIA CUDA acceleration of Qiskit, qiskit-aer-gpu are supported only on Linux.

• Windows 10/11

  • on x86_64

• MacOS 11+

  • on aarch64 (Apple Silicon, M1/M2/M3/M4 chips)
  • on x86_64 (Intel chips)
  • The depedent modules are as follows.

• with required modules:

  • qiskit, tqdm, requests

• with optional modules:

  • qiskit-aer: The complete simulator package of qiskit
  • qiskit-aer-gpu: The gpu acceleration of qiskit-aer on Linux with Nvidia GPU
    • qiskit-aer-gpu-cu11: A package for CUDA 11
  • qiskit-ibm-runtime: The API to access IBM Quantum Device
  • qiskit-ibm-provider: The API to access IBM Quantum Device, but will be deprecated soon.
  • qiskit-ibmq-provider: The API to access IBM Quantum Device, which has been deprecated.

Measurement -- made randomized measurement easy.

qurrent - The Quantum Renyi Entropy Measurement

The major function of this module is to measure the quantum Renyi entropy to quantify entanglement.

qurrech - The Wave Function Overlap Measurement

This module evaluates the overlap between any two given quantum states.

In each of the modules, two methods are implemented to perform the measurements:

• Hadamard Test

  • Ref: Entanglement spectroscopy on a quantum computer - Sonika Johri, Damian S. Steiger, and Matthias Troyer, PhysRevB.96.195136

• Haar Randomized Measure

  • Ref: Statistical correlations between locally randomized measurements: A toolbox for probing entanglement in many-body quantum states - A. Elben, B. Vermersch, C. F. Roos, and P. Zoller, PhysRevA.99.052323
