YaoPlots

NOTE: This package has been moved to Yao.jl as a component package: https://github.com/QuantumBFS/Yao.jl/tree/master/lib/YaoPlots

Example 1: Visualize a QBIR define in Yao

using Yao.EasyBuild, YaoPlots

# show a qft circuit
vizcircuit(qft_circuit(5))

If you are using a Pluto/Jupyter notebook, Atom/VSCode editor, you should see the following image in your plotting panel.

Example 2: Visualize a single qubit

using YaoPlots, Yao

reg = zero_state(1) |> Rx(π/8) |> Rx(π/8)
rho = density_matrix(ghz_state(2), 1)

bloch_sphere("|ψ⟩"=>reg, "ρ"=>rho; show_projection_lines=true)

Similarly, you will see

See more examples.

Adjusting the plot attributes

Various attributes of the visualizations can be altered. The plot can be modified, if we change the following attributes

• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.linecolor[] for line color, default value being "#000000" (black color)
• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.gate_bgcolor[] for background color of square blocks, the default value being "#FFFFFF" (white color)
• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.textcolor[] for text color, default value being "#000000
• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.lw[] for line width, default value being 1 (pt)
• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.textsize[] for text size, default value being 16 (pt)
• YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.paramtextsize[] for parameter text size, for parameterized gates, default value being 10 (pt)

For example,

using YaoPlots, Yao
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.linecolor[] = "pink" 
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.gate_bgcolor[] = "yellow" 
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.textcolor[] = "#000080" # the navy blue color
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.fontfamily[] = "JuliaMono"
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.lw[] = 2.5
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.textsize[] = 13
YaoPlots.CircuitStyles.paramtextsize[] = 8
