Qiskit AQT provider 1.8.1 documentation

The Qiskit AQT package provides access to AQT systems for Qiskit. It enables users to target and run circuits on AQT’s simulators and hardware.

Quick start

Install the latest release from the PyPI:

pip install qiskit-aqt-provider

Warning

Some dependencies might be pinned or tightly constrained to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter conflicts for your use case, please open an issue.

Define a circuit that generates 2-qubit Bell state and sample it on a simulator backend running on the local machine:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

from qiskit_aqt_provider import AQTProvider
from qiskit_aqt_provider.primitives import AQTSampler

# Define a circuit.
circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure_all()

# Select an execution backend.
# Any token (even invalid) gives access to the offline simulation backends.
provider = AQTProvider("ACCESS_TOKEN")
backend = provider.get_backend("offline_simulator_no_noise")

# Instantiate a sampler on the execution backend.
sampler = AQTSampler(backend)

# Optional: set the transpiler's optimization level.
# Optimization level 3 typically provides the best results.
sampler.set_transpile_options(optimization_level=3)

# Sample the circuit on the execution backend.
result = sampler.run(circuit).result()

quasi_dist = result.quasi_dists[0]
print(quasi_dist)

{3: 0.57, 0: 0.43}
