Extensible, Efficient Quantum Algorithm Design for Humans.
Warning: Yao.jl breaks sometime for Julia 1.2.0 due to a compiler bug, The master branch is fixed. Please use Julia 1.0, 1.1 or 1.3 for the moment
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 type ] in the REPL to use the package mode, then type this command:
pkg> add YaoIf you have problem to install the package, please file us an issue.
For CUDA support, see CuYao.jl.
Examples: understand Yao's code for quantum algorithms
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-devchannel. - Julia discourse: You can also ask questions on julia discourse or the Chinese discourse
Please read our contribution guide.
