Fault-Tolerant Quantum Circuit Synthesis for Universal Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

• This project develops a quantum circuit synthesis algorithm for univeral fault-tolerant quantum computing based on concatenated codes such as [[7,1,3]] Steane code and [[25,1,7]] Golay code.
• The circuits of fault-tolerant quantum protocol should be executable in terms of locality constraint that a quantum chip has, but with retaining both the fault tolerance and the logic sequence of the protocol.

Environment

• Language : Python3
• OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Note: It does not work well on Mac OS now, but will be fixed soon.

Prerequisites

To run the project successfully, you need to install the following packages included in "requirements.txt" after installation.

• simplejson, icecream, pandas, networkx, parse, progress, qubitmapping, userproperty

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note that the packages qubitmapping and userproperty are developed by Y.Hwang for this project.

Installation

We encourage installing this project by cloning the source code from GitHub server.

bash
git clone https://github.com/YongsooHWANG/FTCircuitSynthesis.git

Usage

Please see How To Use.md to know how to use the package.

For the sample demonstration codes for Steane code and Golay code, please see Demo.md.
