Package: openfermionpsi4
OpenFermionis an open source library (licensed under Apache 2) for compiling and analyzing quantum algorithms which simulate fermionic systems.
This plugin library allows the electronic structure packagePsi4(licensed under GNU Lesser General Public License version 3) to interface with OpenFermion.InstallationTo start using OpenFermion-Psi4, first installPsi4.
Note that Psi4 is designed specifically for theAnacondapython distribution.
While it is possible to install Psi4 without Anaconda, if one does use Anaconda python
the following commands will install Psi4 and pip (used to install OpenFermion-Psi4):condaconfig--addchannelshttp://conda.anaconda.org/psi4python-mcondainstallpsi4python-mcondainstallpipTo install the latest versions of OpenFermion and OpenFermion-Psi4 (in development mode):gitclonehttps://github.com/quantumlib/OpenFermion-Psi4cdOpenFermion-Psi4python-mpipinstall-e.Alternatively, to install the latest PyPI releases as libraries (in user mode):python-mpipinstall--useropenfermionpsi4Also be sure to take a look at theipython notebook demo.How to contributeWe’d love to accept your contributions and patches to OpenFermion-Psi4.
There are a few guidelines you need to follow.
Contributions to OpenFermion-Psi4 must be accompanied by a Contributor License Agreement.
You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution,
this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project.
Head over tohttps://cla.developers.google.com/to see your current agreements on file or to sign a new one.All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. ConsultGitHub Helpfor
more information on using pull requests.
Furthermore, please make sure your new code comes with extensive tests!
We use automatic testing to make sure all pull requests pass tests and do not
decrease overall test coverage by too much. Make sure you adhere to our style
guide. Just have a look at our code for clues. We mostly followPEP 8and use
the correspondinglinterto check for it.
Code should always come with documentation.AuthorsRyan Babbush(Google),Jarrod McClean(Google),Kevin Sung(University of Michigan),Ian Kivlichan(Harvard),Dave Bacon(Google),Yudong Cao(Harvard),Chengyu Dai(University of Michigan),E.
