Yao Extensible, Efficient Quantum Algorithm Design for Humans.
Yao is an open source framework that aims to empower quantum information research with software tools. It is designed with following in mind:
- quantum algorithm design;
- quantum software 2.0;
- quantum computation education.
We are in an early-release beta. Expect some adventures and rough edges.
A 3 line Quantum Fourier Transformation with Quantum Blocks:
A(i, j) = control(i, j=>shift(2π/(1<<(i-j+1))))
B(n, k) = chain(n, j==k ? put(k=>H) : A(j, k) for j in k:n)
qft(n) = chain(B(n, k) for k in 1:n)
Yao is a
Julia Language
package. To install Yao,
please open
Julia's interactive session (known as REPL) and press ] key in the REPL to use the package mode, then type the following command
For stable release
pkg> add Yao
For current master
pkg> add Yao#master
If you have problem to install the package, please file us an issue.
For CUDA support, see CuYao.jl.
Tutorial | Learn Quantum Computing with Yao
Some quantum algorithms are implemented with Yao in QuAlgorithmZoo.
- STABLE — most recently tagged version of the documentation.
- LATEST — in-development version of the documentation.
- Github issues: Please feel free to ask questions and report bugs, feature request in issues
- Slack: you can join julia's slack channel and ask Yao related questions in
#yao-dev
channel. - Julia discourse: You can also ask questions on julia discourse or the Chinese discourse
