Strangeworks Azure Quantum

The Strangeworks Azure Quantum SDK provides seamless access to Microsoft Azure Quantum services through the Strangeworks platform. It enables you to run Qiskit circuits on Azure Quantum backends with a simple, unified interface.

Features

• Qiskit integration for building and executing quantum circuits
• Azure Quantum backend access through the Strangeworks platform
• Job management with status tracking and result retrieval
• Support for multiple circuit formats including Qiskit QuantumCircuit and OpenQASM strings
• Unified interface that simplifies Azure Quantum access

Installation

pip install strangeworks-azure

Quick Start

import strangeworks as sw
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from strangeworks_azure import StrangeworksBackend

# Authenticate with your API key
sw.authenticate("your-api-key")

# List available Azure Quantum backends
backends = StrangeworksBackend.get_backends()
print("Available backends:")
for backend in backends:
    print(f"  - {backend.name} ({backend.status})")

# Create a quantum circuit
circuit = QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
circuit.name = "GenerateRandomBit"
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure([0, 1], [0, 1])

# Choose a backend (e.g., IonQ simulator)
ionq = StrangeworksBackend(name="ionq.simulator")

# Execute the circuit
job = ionq.run(circuit, shots=100)

# Get results
result = job.result()
print(f"Counts: {result.get('counts')}")
