# QuEST Rust Wrapper [![Build](https://github.com/drewsilcock/quest-rs/workflows/Build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/drewsilcock/quest-rs/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild) [![Docs](https://docs.rs/quest-rs/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/quest-rs) [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ## Introduction The Quantum Exact Simulation Toolkit is a high performance simulator of universal quantum circuits, state-vectors and density matrices. QuEST is written in C, hybridises OpenMP and MPI, and can run on a GPU. Needing only compilation, QuEST is easy to run both on laptops and supercomputers (in both C and C++), where it can take advantage of multicore, GPU-accelerated and networked machines to quickly simulate circuits on many qubits. This library provides a safe wrapper around QuEST with an idiomatic Rust API. ## Usage To use quest-rs in your Rust codebase, first run: ```bash cargo add quest-rs ``` or add `quest-rs` manually to your `Cargo.toml`. The API is simple: ```rust use quest_rs::{QuestEnv, QuReg}; let env = QuestEnv::new(); let mut qubits = QuReg::new(2, &env); qubits.init_plus_state().hadamard(0).controlled_not(0, 1); println!( "Probability amplitude of |11> *before* measurement is: {}", qubits.probability_amplitude(0b11) ); qubits.measure(1); println!( "Probability amplitude of |11> *after* measurement is: {}", qubits.probability_amplitude(0b11) ); ``` The fluent API makes more complicated circuits easy to create: ```rust use quest_rs::{Complex, ComplexMatrix2, ComplexMatrixN, QReal, QuReg, QuestEnv, Vector}; let env = QuestEnv::new(); let mut qubits = QuReg::new(3, &env); qubits.init_zero_state(); println!("Out environment is:"); qubits.report_params(); env.report(); // Set up the circuitry let unitary_alpha = Complex::new(0.5, 0.5); let unitary_beta = Complex::new(0.5, -0.5); let unitary_matrix = ComplexMatrix2 { real: [[0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5]], imag: [[0.5, -0.5], [-0.5, 0.5]], }; let mut toffoli_gate = ComplexMatrixN::new(3); for i in 0..6 { toffoli_gate.set_real(i, i, 1.0); } toffoli_gate.set_real(6, 7, 1.0); toffoli_gate.set_real(7, 6, 1.0); qubits .hadamard(0) .controlled_not(0, 1) .rotate_y(2, 0.1) .multi_controlled_phase_flip(vec![0, 1, 2]) .unitary(0, unitary_matrix) .compact_unitary(1, unitary_alpha, unitary_beta) .rotate_around_axis(2, (3.14 / 2.0) as QReal, Vector::new(1.0, 0.0, 0.0)) .controlled_compact_unitary(0, 1, unitary_alpha, unitary_beta) .multi_controlled_unitary(vec![0, 1], 2, unitary_matrix) .multi_qubit_unitary(vec![0, 1, 2], toffoli_gate); // Study the output println!("Circuit output:"); println!("---------------"); println!("Probability amplitude of |111> is: {}", qubits.probability_amplitude(0b111)); println!( "Probability of qubit 2 being in state 1: {}", qubits.calculate_probability_of_outcome(2, 1) ); println!("Qubit 0 was measured in state: {}", qubits.measure(0)); let (outcome, outcome_probability) = qubits.measure_with_stats(2); println!( "Qubit 2 collapsed to {} with probability {}", outcome, outcome_probability ); ``` ## Template For a starter template to get going with an executable project that uses this wrapper, see: https://github.com/drewsilcock/quest-rs-template. ## Todo The C QuEST library has several compile-option flags which should be supported using cargo features. These are: - what precision to operate in (single, double or quad) - whether to enable OpenMP, MPI, OpenMP+MPI or GPU The documentation should also be expanded to include all the relevant info from the QuEST documentation.
