HQS Quantum Simulations launches ProjectQ port to Cirq
Karlsruhe, 11.07.2018. HQS Quantum Simulations has developed a port between ProjectQ and Cirq, called CirqProjectQ. ProjectQ is an open source tool to compile source code for quantum computers. Cirq is an open source framework developed by Google for building and experimenting with noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) algorithms on near-term quantum processors. HQS Quantum Simulations is an early stage partner of Google and has had early access to Cirq.
CirqProjectQ provides two main functionalities:
ProjectQ backend to convert a ProjectQ algorithm to a cirq.Circuit
ProjectQ decompositions from common gates to native Xmon gates that can be used to simulate a Google quantum computer with ProjectQ.
“Cirq offers many features which make it simple and intuitive to program a quantum computer. To integrate it into our programming stack we created a port between ProjectQ and Cirq, which could also be useful for many other users. We are grateful to be an early stage partner of Google and to get the chance to use Cirq”, Michael Marthaler, CTO of HQS Quantum Simulations.
