nightly release for tensorcircuit

Project description

English | 简体中文

TensorCircuit is the next generation of quantum circuit simulators with support for automatic differentiation, just-in-time compiling, hardware acceleration, and vectorized parallelism.

TensorCircuit is built on top of modern machine learning frameworks and is machine learning backend agnostic. It is specifically suitable for highly efficient simulations of quantum-classical hybrid paradigm and variational quantum algorithms.

Getting Started

Please begin with Quick Start.

For more information and introductions, please refer to helpful example scripts and full documentation. API docstrings and test cases in tests are also informative.

The following are some minimal demos.

  • Circuit manipulation:
import tensorcircuit as tc
c = tc.Circuit(2)
c.H(0)
c.CNOT(0,1)
c.rx(1, theta=0.2)
print(c.wavefunction())
print(c.expectation_ps(z=[0, 1]))
print(c.sample(allow_state=True, batch=1024, format="count_dict_bin"))
  • Runtime behavior customization:
tc.set_backend("tensorflow")
tc.set_dtype("complex128")
tc.set_contractor("greedy")
  • Automatic differentiations with jit:
def forward(theta):
    c = tc.Circuit(2)
    c.R(0, theta=theta, alpha=0.5, phi=0.8)
    return tc.backend.real(c.expectation((tc.gates.z(), [0])))

g = tc.backend.grad(forward)
g = tc.backend.jit(g)
theta = tc.array_to_tensor(1.0)
print(g(theta))

Install

The package is written in pure Python and can be obtained via pip as:

pip install tensorcircuit

We recommend you install this package with tensorflow also installed as:

pip install tensorcircuit[tensorflow]

Other optional dependencies include [torch], [jax] and [qiskit].

For the nightly build of tensorcircuit with new features, try:

pip uninstall tensorcircuit
pip install tensorcircuit-nightly

We also have Docker support.

Advantages

  • Tensor network simulation engine based

  • JIT, AD, vectorized parallelism compatible, GPU support

  • Efficiency

    • Time: 10 to 10^6+ times acceleration compared to TensorFlow Quantum, Pennylane or Qiskit

    • Space: 600+ qubits 1D VQE workflow (converged energy inaccuracy: < 1%)

  • Elegance

    • Flexibility: customized contraction, multiple ML backend/interface choices, multiple dtype precisions

    • API design: quantum for humans, less code, more power
