Interfaces

Interfaces to external packages all operate under the same overall design strategy. They are each subclassed off Interface with a standard set of functions to enable conversion to and from True-Q™. For convenience, one instance of each inteface class is instantiated when True-Q™ is imported. Each interface defines a default_config(), which is a Config object defining gates which True-Q™ can convert into.

However, these default config objects typically have multiple GateFactorys that implement the same Gate for different parameters. For example Identity is a special case of both Z(phi) and X(phi) when phi=0. Each interface fixes this degeneracy by preferentially converting using the ordering of the factories present in a set config. What this means is that if the config for a given interface contains both a GateFactory for an X(phi) rotation followed by a factory for an I gate, and a True-Q™ gate representing the identity is converted using that interface, then the interface will preferentially convert the gate into a X(0) gate in the external format.

The currently set config may be accessed on any interface via the get_config() method, which will return a config containing the factories in the preferred order of conversion. This config may be set through the set_config().

When an interface is successfully loaded, Circuit gets additional functionality in the form of a Circuit.to_<interface>(), which will convert the True-Q™ circuit representation into the representation of the external package. By altering the set config for the specified package, the user can select specific gates to build into by default.

trueq.interface.cirq = <trueq.interface.cirq_interface.CirqInterface object>: An instance of the CirqInterface interface. This particular instance is used by the to_cirq() converter, and also for the reverse converter cirq.Circuit.to_trueq().

trueq.interface.pyquil = <trueq.interface.pyquil_interface.PyQuilInterface object>: An instance of the PyQuilInterface interface. This particular instance is used by the to_pyquil() converter, and also for the reverse converter pyquil.Program.to_trueq().

class trueq.interface.Executor(circuits, backend, filename=None, n_shots=128, max_submissions=None, overwrite=False, store_compiled=True)

A class to asynchronously submit a CircuitCollection to a qiskit.providers.Backend.

Since many Qiskit backends have a limit to the number of circuits that can be submitted in a single job, batching of circuits must be performed. True-Q™ circuit collections have support for batching circuits like this, see batch().

The Executor accepts a list of batched circuits (or just a list of circuits and batches them automatically), converts all circuits in each batch into the Qiskit circuit format, and submits each batch as a job to run on the specified backend. The executor then keeps track of the status of each job asynchronously, updating the status of each job periodically. The results of the input circuits are updated with results as each job finishes.

Note

The executor uses rich display inside of Jupyter notebooks. Make sure you have ipywidgets installed, and that you have enabled the extension

pip install ipywidgets
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

Since most devices have a limit as to the number of jobs that can be active on a backend at any given time, the executor will only submit up to a max_submissions number of batches at any one time. Once a batch has run on the device, and has been removed from the job queue, the executor will place another batch into the queue until there are a total of max_submissions submitted jobs at any one time.

Here is a worked example, where a simple circuit is submitted to the IBMQ simulator backend:

import trueq as tq
import qiskit as qk
from qiskit.providers.aer import AerSimulator
from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import FakeMelbourne

# loading IBMQ account and selecting a backend
# qk.IBMQ.load_account()
# provider = qk.IBMQ.get_provider()
# backend = provider.get_backend('ibmq_qasm_simulator')
# using a mock device as an example
backend = AerSimulator.from_backend(FakeMelbourne())

# Generating a simple circuit of only the H gate
circs = tq.Circuit([{0: tq.Gate.h}, {0: tq.Meas()}])

# The handling of the submission of the circuits
ex = tq.interface.Executor(circs, backend)

# This is a blocking operation, and will block until all data has been acquired
ex.block()
# circs.results.plot()

True-Q formatting will not be loaded without trusting this notebook or rerunning the affected cells. Notebooks can be marked as trusted by clicking "File -> Trust Notebook".

# A more complicated example using advanced batching options
circs2 = tq.make_srb((0, 1), [4, 64, 128])

# Batch the circuits into groups of 75, including readout calibration circuits
# in each batch
ro_circuits = tq.make_rcal([0, 1])
batches = circs2.batch(75, extra_circuits=ro_circuits)

ex2 = tq.interface.Executor(batches, backend)
ex2.block()
circs2.fit()

Parameters

circuits (CircuitCollection | Circuit | generator) –
The circuits which are to be submitted to the Qiskit backend. Depending on what is submitted here, there are several possible outcomes:
- Circuit
  It will be converted to a CircuitCollection. Results will be placed back inside of the original circuit object itself, and can be viewed as data is retrieved from the backend without having to wait.
- CircuitCollection
  It will be batched using the maximum allowed batch size for the given backend. For very long circuits this may result in errors due to limited memory of the classical hardware which control the backend. If errors occur during the submission of a CircuitCollection, it is recommended to resubmit using the third submission type. Results are placed back inside of the original circuits as data is retrieved from the server.
- batch
  The circuits will be batched exactly as given by the batch generator. This can be used to submit automatic readout correction circuits, see above example or batch() for more details about possible options. Results are placed inside original circuits as data comes in, note that some batching options may result in additional circuits being added to the collection.
backend (qiskit.providers.Backend) – The Qiskit backend to which the circuits will be submitted.
filename (str) – Optional filename where results will be saved. If this is provided the Executor will also be able to partially recover from a crash of the Python session, loss of internet, or other interruption in data acquisition.
n_shots (int) – The number of shots of the circuits to be aquired.
max_submissions (int | None) – The maximum number of batches allowed in a backend queue at any one time. If None, we will ask the backend how many remaining queue positions you are allowed, which will depend on whether you have other jobs running.
overwrite (bool) – Whether to overwrite the file on disk if it exists before these circuits are executed. Note that regardless of the value of this flag, after this first check, the file on disk will continually be updated as new results come in.
store_compiled (bool) – Whether to store (and save if filename is present) the compiled version of each circuit rather than the circuits as they were provided to this constructor. The compiled circuits are True-Q™ circuits after they have been compiled into the native gates of the given backend, but before they have been converted into Qiskit circuits. Note that during Qiskit conversion full system barriers are added between cycles with unequal markers.

Interface

class trueq.interface.base.Interface

Base class for interfaces to external software libraries or standards.

Each interface maintains a Config containing a collection of GateFactorys that the interface may build into. A complete collection of all gate conversions supported may be found in the default_config() for the respective interface.

In addition to this default config, an interface instance keeps track of a subset of the default config which defines the current gates they will preferentially build into. This active subset of the default config may be manipulated via the get_config() and set_config() defined by each interface.

When there is a possible degeneracy in the conversions, such as when converting an identity gate into either an I gate or X(0) in the external standard, the first usable factory listed in the currently set config is used.

QASM

class trueq.interface.qasm_interface.QASMInterface

Interface class to convert Circuits into the QASM 2.0 language.

QASM 2.0 only defines two possible gate operations natively:

U
This is an arbitrary single qubit unitary with three free parameters.
CX
This is a fixed two qubit gate, more commonly called CNOT.

A config containing these two gates is accessable via default_config(). Any other gates used in a QASM file must be defined as a subroutine using these two fundamental gates.

The QASM interface supports Config objects which contain any one or two qubit fixed gates, as well as any of the following parameterized single qubit operations:

Pauli rotation on a single qubit.
u1_factory
u2_factory
u3_factory

This config the interface uses may be altered via set_config() and get_config(), and gates defined by it will automatically be converted to QASM formatted gate definitions inside of the QASM header.

A commonly available standard library of QASM gates called QELIB1 can be accessed through QELIB1().

Converts a Gate into a QASM gate in the currently specified QASM respresentation as defined by get_config().

Parameters

labels (tuple) – A tuple of labels on which the gate operates.
gate (Gate) – The Gate to be converted.

Return type

str

Raises

ValueError – If conversion is not possible.

pair_from_trueq_circ(circuit, custom_header=None, include_auto_header=True, passes=None)

Returns a pair (compiled_circuit, qasm_str) where compiled_circuit has type Circuit and is the given circuit after it has been compiled by this interface according to get_config() and the given passes, but immediately before it has been converted into qasm_str which is a QASM 2.0 string.

Parameters

circuit (Circuit) – The Circuit to be converted.
passes (list) – A list of compiler passes to use during the conversion, this defaults to the HARDWARE_PASSES.

Return type

tuple

from_trueq_circ(circuit, custom_header=None, include_auto_header=True, passes=None)

Converts a Circuit into a QASM 2.0 text string.

Circuits converted to QASM will use the gate definitions found in the get_config(). These definitions will by default be included at the top of the output QASM file (this behavior can be disabled by setting include_auto_header=False). Additional lines in the header can be included by providing a list of strings to custom_header, which will be appended as new lines at the top of the file.
