A quantum circuit simulator using tensor network methods.

Install

To get started, run following commands:

import Pkg
# to install ITensors.jl
ITensorsPkg = Pkg.PackageSpec(url="https://github.com/ITensor/ITensors.jl.git")
# to install LinQu
LinQuPkg =  Pkg.PackageSpec(url="https://github.com/YiqingZhouKelly/LinQu.jl.git")
Pkg.add([ITensorsPkg, LinQuPkg])

Then you should be ready to go!

Tutorial

(For more detailed examples, checkout the example folder.)

  • Construct a state
N = 5 # for 5 qubits
state1 = MPSState(N) # use MPS to represent state of a quantum device
state2 = ExactState(N) # use a tensor of order N to represent state of a quantum device
  • Apply a gate

    • Single qubit gate
      apply!(state, H, 1) # apply a Hadamard gate to qubit 1
      apply!(state, H(1)) # alternative interface
    • Multiple qubit gate
      # apply a CNOT gate to state, qubit 3 is control bit and qubit 5 is target bit
      apply!(state, CNOT, [3,5])
      apply!(state, CNOT(3,5))
  • Build a QCircuit

N = 10 # 10 quits
state = MPSState(N)
circuit = QCircuit(N)
add!(circuit, H, 1)
add!(circuit, H(1),
              X(2),
              CNOT(1,2))
apply!(state, circuit)
  • Allow SVD truncation for approximation
N = 10 # 10 quits
state = MPSState(N)
circuit = QCircuit(N)
add!(circuit, H, 1)
add!(circuit, H(1),
              X(2),
              CNOT(1,2))

apply!(state, circuit; maxdim = 10) # use keyword arguments
                                    # to specify truncation 
                                    # mode
# see doc string of apply! function for a complete set of supported keyword arguments
  • Measurements
    • measure!: This function does not change the current state physically, but may change the gauge center.
    • collapse!: This function collapses measured qubits to measurement results (i.e. changes the physical meaning current state).
