PyQuil is a Python library for quantum programming using Quil, the quantum instruction language developed at Rigetti Computing. PyQuil serves three main functions. PyQuil has a ton of other features, which you can learn more about in the docs. However, you can also keep reading below to get started with running your first quantum program. Without installing anything, you can quickly get started with quantum programming by exploring our interactive Jupyter Notebook tutorials and examples. To run them in a preconfigured execution environment on Binder, click the "launch binder" badge at the top of the README or the link here! To learn more about the tutorials and how you can add your own, visit the rigetti/forest-tutorials repository. If you'd rather set everything up locally, or are interested in contributing to pyQuil, continue to the next section for instructions on installing pyQuil and the Forest SDK.
Features
- Easily generating Quil programs from quantum gates and classical operations
- Documentation available
- Compiling and simulating Quil programs using the Quil Compiler (quilc) and the Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM)
- Examples available
- Executing Quil programs on real quantum processors (QPUs) using Quantum Cloud Services (QCS)
- PyQuil is licensed under the Apache License 2.0
