Build Status Stable Dev

Unofficial Julia interface for qulacs.

Prerequisites

  1. Install Python and qulacs >= 0.5.1, qulacsvis >= 0.3.2 via
$ pip3 install qulacs qulacsvis
  1. Install Julia. If you're Julian, you can skip this step.
$ pip3 install jill # A cross-platform installer for Pythonista
$ jill install 1.8

After that you're supposed to add ${HOME}/.local/bin to your $PATH environment variable. You'll see the result below:

$ which julia
$ ~/.local/bin/julia

Having trouble with the error messages ImportError: No module named site? Did you install Python via pyenv or asdf? Please re-install or install another Python again with CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" option. Namely run one of the following:

$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv 3.8.11
$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" asdf install python 3.8.11
  1. Install Kyulacs.jl
$ git clone https://github.com/AtelierArith/Kyulacs.jl.git
$ cd Kyulacs.jl
$ julia --project=@. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
$ julia --project=@. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'

How to use

Let's assume you've written a Python code which is similar to Python sample code given by qulacs.

# examples/readme_example.py
from qulacs import Observable, QuantumCircuit, QuantumState
from qulacs.gate import Y, CNOT, merge

state = QuantumState(3)
seed = 0  # set random seed
state.set_Haar_random_state(seed)

circuit = QuantumCircuit(3)
circuit.add_X_gate(0)
merged_gate = merge(CNOT(0, 1), Y(1))
circuit.add_gate(merged_gate)
circuit.add_RX_gate(1, 0.5)
circuit.update_quantum_state(state)

observable = Observable(3)
observable.add_operator(2.0, "X 2 Y 1 Z 0")
observable.add_operator(-3.0, "Z 2")
value = observable.get_expectation_value(state)
print(value)

You can try this code out of the box even if you are not familiar with quantum computing.

$ cd /path/to/this/repository
$ julia --project=@. examples/readme_example.jl

In Julia, we can achieve the same functionality with Kyulacs package.

# examples/readme_example.jl
using Kyulacs: Observable, QuantumCircuit, QuantumState
using Kyulacs.Gate: CNOT, Y, merge

state = QuantumState(3)
seed = 0  # set random seed
state.set_Haar_random_state(seed)

circuit = QuantumCircuit(3)
circuit.add_X_gate(0)
merged_gate = merge(CNOT(0, 1), Y(1))
circuit.add_gate(merged_gate)
circuit.add_RX_gate(1, 0.5)
circuit.update_quantum_state(state)

observable = Observable(3)
observable.add_operator(2.0, "X 2 Y 1 Z 0")
observable.add_operator(-3.0, "Z 2")
value = observable.get_expectation_value(state)
println(value)

Have a try!!!

$ cd /path/to/this/repository
$ julia -e "using InteractiveUtils; versioninfo()"

These are pretty much the same thing. In fact, diff tells these are almost same.

$ diff readme_example.py readme_example.jl

> println(value)

Code Design

When you want migrate your code from Python to Julia, the following table may help you:

Python Julia
from qulacs import something using Kyulacs: something
from qulacs.circuit import something using Kyulacs.Gate: something
from qulacs.gate import something using Kyulacs.Gate: something
from qulacs.observable import something using Kyulacs.ObservableFunctions: something
from qulacs.quantum_operator import something using Kyulacs.QuantumOperator: something
from qulacs.state import something using Kyulacs.State: something
from qulacsvis.visualization import something using Kyulacs.Vis: something

If you feel using Kyulacs.ObservableFunctions is too exaggerated. Please send your feedback/idea to our issue tracker.

GPU API

using Kyulacs.GPU will export StateVectorGpu and QuantumStateGpu that wraps qulacs.StateVectorGpu and qulacs.QuantumStateGpu respectively.

Visualization

Kyulacs.jl also supports qulacsvis integration. The statement using Kyulacs.Vis allows us to use Python API under qulacsvis.visualization. Consider the following Julia code:

using Kyulacs: ParametricQuantumCircuit

# exports `circuit_drawer`
using Kyulacs.Vis

nqubits = 2
circuit = ParametricQuantumCircuit(nqubits)
circuit.add_parametric_RY_gate(0, 0.0)
circuit.add_parametric_RY_gate(1, 0.0)

circuit.add_parametric_RY_gate(0, 0.0)
circuit.add_CNOT_gate(0, 1)
circuit.add_parametric_RY_gate(0, 0.0)

circuit_drawer(circuit)

We'll get:

   ___     ___             ___
  |pRY|   |pRY|           |pRY|
--|   |---|   |-----●-----|   |--
  |___|   |___|     |     |___|
   ___             _|_
  |pRY|           |CX |
--|   |-----------|   |----------
  |___|           |___|
