QCOR

QCOR is a C++ language extension and associated compiler implementation for hybrid quantum-classical programming.

Documentation

Install

To install qcor run the following command from your terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://aide-qc.github.io/deploy/install.sh)"

To use the Python API, be sure to set your PYTHONPATH. For more details, see here.

Nightly docker images are also available that serve up a Theia IDE on port 3000. To use this image, run

docker run --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --init -it -p 3000:3000 qcor/qcor

and navigate to https://localhost:3000 in your browser to open the IDE and get started with QCOR.

For any method of installation, a good way to test your install is to copy and paste the following into your terminal

printf "__qpu__ void f(qreg q) {
  H(q[0]);
  Measure(q[0]);
}
int main() {
  auto q = qalloc(1);
  f(q);
  q.print();
}  " | qcor -qpu qpp -shots 1024 -o test -x c++ -

and then run

./test
