Dave Wecker: Software Demo: Microsoft LIQUiD

Опубликовано 3 февраля 2017, 22:07

LIQUi|> provides a modular software architecture for the simulation of quantum algorithms. It provides a high level interface and is independent of a specific quantum architecture. In the past year we’ve released LIQUi|> to the public for academic use. It is a free package that runs on Windows, Linux and OSX as a provided library and executable with built-in examples and sample scripts as well as a development environment (using Visual Studio or mono, also freely available) that allows the user to compile their own quantum algorithms into an executable. The package includes a 100 page user’s manual as well as over 700 pages of API documentation. This tutorial will focus on:
• Obtaining and installing the package from stationq.github.io/Liquid
• Obtaining and installing Visual Studio and mono as development environments (best for attendees to do this beforehand following instructions on the above web site, see “Getting Started”)
• Getting the system running using built in examples (e.g., Shor)
• How to draw circuits (e.g., Teleport)
• Editing, compiling and running your own circuit (step-by-step)
• Use of scripting (e.g., controlling and creating Quantum Chemistry tests)
• Overview of documentation (User’s Manual, API docs, Videos, GitHub community)
To follow along during the tutorial, please download the software from stationq.github.io/Liquid in advance.
