# Noisy Quantum Gates [![Made at QMTS!](https://img.shields.io/badge/University%20of%20Trieste-Bassi%20Group-brightgreen)](http://www.qmts.it/) [![Made at CERN!](https://img.shields.io/badge/CERN-CERN%20openlab-brightgreen)](https://openlab.cern/) [![Made at CERN!](https://img.shields.io/badge/CERN-Open%20Source-%232980b9.svg)](https://home.cern) [![Made at CERN!](https://img.shields.io/badge/CERN-QTI-blue)](https://quantum.cern/our-governance)

Implementation of the Noisy Quantum Gates model, which is soon to be published. It is a novel method to simulate the noisy behaviour of quantum devices by incorporating the noise directly in the gates, which become stochastic matrices. 


## Documentations
The documentation for Noisy Quantum Gates can be accessed on the website 
<a href="https://quantum-gates-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html" target="_blank"> Read the Docs</a>.


## How to install
### Requirements
The Python version should be 3.9 or later. Find your Python version by typing `python` or `python3` in the CLI. 
We recommend using the repo together with an [IBM Quantum Lab](https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/lab) account, 
as it necessary for circuit compilation with Qiskit in many cases. 


### Installation as a user
The library is available on the Python Package Index (PyPI) with `pip install quantum-gates`. 


### Installation as a contributor
For users who want to have control over the source code, we recommend the following installation. Clone the repository 
from [Github](https://github.com/CERN-IT-INNOVATION/quantum-gates), create a new virtual environment, and activate the 
environment. Then you can build the wheel and install it with the package manager of your choice as described in the 
section [How to contribute](#how-to-contribute). This will install all dependencies in your virtual environment, 
and install a working version of the library.


## Quickstart
Execute the following code in a script or notebook. Add your IBM token to by defining it as the variable 
IBM_TOKEN = "your_token". 

```python
# Standard libraries
import numpy as np
import json

# Qiskit
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, transpile
from qiskit.visualization import plot_histogram

# Own library
from quantum_gates.simulators import MrAndersonSimulator
from quantum_gates.gates import standard_gates
from quantum_gates.circuits import EfficientCircuit
from quantum_gates.utilities import DeviceParameters
from quantum_gates.utilities import setup_backend
IBM_TOKEN = "<your_token>"
```
We create a quantum circuit with Qiskit. 

```python
circ = QuantumCircuit(2,2)
circ.h(0)
circ.cx(0,1)
circ.barrier(range(2))
circ.measure(range(2),range(2))
circ.draw('mpl')
```

We load the configuration from a json file or from code with
```python
config = {
    "backend": {
        "hub": "ibm-q",
        "group": "open",
        "project": "main",
        "device_name": "ibmq_manila"
    },
    "run": {
        "shots": 1000,
        "qubits_layout": [0, 1],
        "psi0": [1, 0, 0, 0]
    }
}
```
... and setup the Qiskit backend used for the circuit transpilation.

```python
backend_config = config["backend"]
backend = setup_backend(Token=IBM_TOKEN, **backend_config)
run_config = config["run"]
```

This allows us to load the device parameters, which represent the noise of the quantum hardware. 
```python
qubits_layout = run_config["qubits_layout"]
device_param = DeviceParameters(qubits_layout)
device_param.load_from_backend(backend)
device_param_lookup = device_param.__dict__()
```

Last, we perform the simulation ... 
```python
sim = MrAndersonSimulator(gates=standard_gates, CircuitClass=EfficientCircuit)

t_circ = transpile(
    circ,
    backend,
    scheduling_method='asap',
    initial_layout=qubits_layout,
    seed_transpiler=42
)

probs = sim.run(
    t_qiskit_circ=t_circ, 
    qubits_layout=qubits_layout, 
    psi0=np.array(run_config["psi0"]), 
    shots=run_config["shots"], 
    device_param=device_param_lookup,
    nqubit=2)

counts_ng = {format(i, 'b').zfill(2): probs[i] for i in range(0, 4)}
```
... and analyse the result. 

```python
plot_histogram(counts_ng, bar_labels=False, legend=['Noisy Gates simulation'])
```


# Usage
We recommend to read the [overview](https://quantum-gates-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) of the documentation as a 2-minute preparation. 


## Imports
There are two ways of importing the package. 1) If you installed the code with pip, then the imports are simply of the form seen in the [Quickstart](<#quickstart>). 

```python
from quantum_gates.simulators import MrAndersonSimulator
from quantum_gates.gates import standard_gates
from quantum_gates.circuits import EfficientCircuit
from quantum_gates.utilities import DeviceParameters, setup_backend
```

2) If you use the source code directly and develop within the repository, then the imports become

```python
from src.quantum_gates._simulation.simulator import MrAndersonSimulator
from src.quantum_gates._gates.gates import standard_gates
from src.quantum_gates._simulation.circuit import EfficientCircuit
from src.quantum_gates._utility.device_parameters import (
    DeviceParameters, 
    setup_backend
)
``` 


# Functionality
The main components are the [gates](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gates.html), 
and the [simulator](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/simulators.html). 
One can configure the gates with different [pulse shapes](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pulses.html>), 
and the simulator with different [circuit classes](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/circuits.html>) and 
[backends](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends.html). The circuit classes use a specific 
backend for the statevector simulation. 
The [EfficientBackend](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends.html) has the same functionality as 
the [StandardBackend](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends.html), but is much more performant 
thanks to optimized tensor contraction algorithms. We also provide various
[quantum algorithms](https://quantum-gates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quantum_algorithms.html) as circuits, and 
scripts to run the circuits with the simulator, the IBM simulator, and a real IBM backend. Last, all functionality is 
unit tested and one can get sample code from the unit tests.


# How to contribute
Contributions are welcomed and should apply the usual git-flow: fork this repo, create a local branch named 
'feature-...'. Commit often to ensure that each commit is easy to understand. Name your commits 
'[feature-...] Commit message.', such that it possible to differentiate the commits of different features in the 
main line. Request a merge to the mainline often. Please remember to follow the 
[PEP 8 style guide](https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/), and add comments whenever it helps. The corresponding 
[authors](<#authors>) are happy to support you. 


## Build 
You may also want to create your own distribution and test it. Navigate to the repository in your CLI of choice. 
Build the wheel with the command `python3 -m build --sdist --wheel .` and navigate to the distribution with `cd dist`. 
Use `ls` to display the name of the wheel, and run `pip install <filename>.whl` with the correct filename. 
Now you can use your version of the library.
