Yao Extensible, Efficient Quantum Algorithm Design for Humans.

Introduction

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.

Try your first Yao program

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)

Installation

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.

For tensor network based simulations, see YaoToEinsum.jl.
