Package: openfermionprojectq
OpenFermionis an open source package for compiling and analyzing quantum algorithms that simulate fermionic systems.
This plugin library allows the circuit simulation and compilation packageProjectQto interface with OpenFermion.Getting startedInstalling OpenFermion-ProjectQ requires pip. Make sure that you are using an up-to-date version of it.
Once installation is complete, be sure to take a look at theipython notebook demoas well as our detailedcode documentation.Developer installTo install the latest versions of OpenFermion, ProjectQ and OpenFermion-ProjectQ (in development mode):gitclonehttps://github.com/quantumlib/OpenFermion-ProjectQcdOpenFermion-ProjectQpython-mpipinstall-e.Library installTo install the latest PyPI releases as libraries (in user mode):python-mpipinstall--useropenfermionprojectqHow to contributeWe’d love to accept your contributions and patches to OpenFermion-ProjectQ.
There are a few guidelines you need to follow.
Contributions to OpenFermion-ProjectQ 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.

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),Ian Kivlichan(Harvard),Kevin J.
