Compiler module

Main module for compiling quantum circuits using various optimization techniques based on many-body embedding.

Gates module

Collections of dictionaries for an abstract description of discrete and continuous (parametric) gates.

Abstract circuit states module

Define a class for abstract many-body representation of quantum circuits.

A ciruits is represented by a n-dimensional array of strings, where the first index labels the time-step, and the other indices label the position of the qubit in the lattice. Each string denote the name of the corresponding gate (see vulqano.gates.discretegates and vulqano.gates.discretegates).

Rules module

Contains all the classes and function needed to describe and implement transition rules that replace equivalent sub-circuits in a circuit state.

Markovian dynamics module

Here we define the function that performs optimization based on markovian dynamics of a circuit state (e.g. simulated annealing).

Quantum dynamics module

Here we define the function that performs optimization based on quantum dynamics of a state that encodes a superposition of circuits (e.g. quantum annealing).

The dynamics is simulated using qtealeaves.
