Python Interoperability

This sample demonstrates the use of Python to call into Q# by using the QInfer and QuTiP.

Installation

As this sample demonstrates using Q# and Python together, make sure you have the qsharp package for Python installed first; see the Getting Started with Python guide for details.

If you are using the Anaconda distribution of Python, this can be done automatically by using the environment.yml file provided with this sample:

cd samples/interoperability/python
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate python-qsharp

Running the Sample

Once everything is installed, run jupyter notebook to start the Jupyter Notebook interface in your web browser:

jupyter notebook

In the browser, select the python-qsharp-interop.ipynb notebook in your browser to view the sample.

Manifest

• Operations.qs: Q# code that is loaded by the Jupyter Notebook.
• python-qsharp-interop.ipynb: Jupyter Notebook demoing the Python interoperability with Q#.
• environment.yml: Specification of a conda environment for use with Q# interoperability samples.
