[[_TOC_]]

Ket is an embedded programming language that introduces the ease of Python to quantum programming, letting anyone quickly prototype and test a quantum application.

Python is the most widely used programming language for machine learning and data science and has been the language of choice for quantum programming. Ket is a Python-embedded language, but many can use it as a Python library in most cases. So you can use Ket together with NumPy, ScyPy, Pandas, and other popular Python libraries.

Ket's goal is to streamline the development of hardware-independent classical quantum applications by providing transparent interaction of classical and quantum data. See <https://quantumket.org> to learn more about Ket.

## Installation :arrow_down:

Ket requires Python 3.10 or newer and is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS (both Apple silicon and Intel). If you are using a non-x86_64 (Intel/AMD) CPU, such as ARM, on Linux or Windows, you will need to install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) before installing Ket.

You can install Ket using [`pip`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/). To do so, copy and paste the following command into your terminal:

```shell
pip install ket-lang
```

## Examples :bulb:

### Grover's Algorithm

```py
from ket import *
from math import sqrt, pi


def grover(n: int, oracle) -> int:
    p = Process()
    qubits = H(p.alloc(n))
    steps = int((pi / 4) * sqrt(2**n))
    for _ in range(steps):
        oracle(qubits)
        with around(H, qubits):
            phase_oracle(0, qubits)
    return measure(qubits).value


n = 8
looking_for = 13
print(grover(n, phase_oracle(looking_for)))
# 13
```

### Quantum Teleportation

```py
from ket import *


def entangle(a: Quant, b: Quant):
    return CNOT(H(a), b)


def teleport(quantum_message: Quant, entangled_qubit: Quant):
    adj(entangle)(quantum_message, entangled_qubit)
    return measure(entangled_qubit).value, measure(quantum_message).value


def decode(classical_message: tuple[int, int], qubit: Quant):
    if classical_message[0] == 1:
        X(qubit)

    if classical_message[1] == 1:
        Z(qubit)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    from math import pi

    p = Process()

    alice_message = P(pi / 4, H(p.alloc()))

    alice_message_dump = dump(alice_message)

    alice_qubit, bob_qubit = entangle(*p.alloc(2))

    classical_message = teleport(
        quantum_message=alice_message, entangled_qubit=alice_qubit
    )

    decode(classical_message, bob_qubit)

    bob_qubit_dump = dump(bob_qubit)

    print("Alice Message:")
    print(alice_message_dump.show())

    print("Bob Qubit:")
    print(bob_qubit_dump.show())
# Alice Message:
# |0⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.707107               ≅      1/√2
# |1⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.500000+0.500000i     ≅  (1+i)/√4
# Bob Qubit:
# |0⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.707107               ≅      1/√2
# |1⟩     (50.00%)
#  0.500000+0.500000i     ≅  (1+i)/√4
```

## Setup for Ket Development :hammer:

To get started with Ket development, follow these steps:

1. **Rust Installation**
  
    Ensure that Rust is installed on your system. If not, follow the [Rust install guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). After installation, set the Rust version to 1.88 using the following command:

    ```shell
    rustup default 1.88
    ```

2. **Clone and Compile**

    Clone the Ket repository and compile the Rust libraries:

    ```shell
    git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/quantum-ket/ket.git
    cd ket

    cargo build --manifest-path src/ket/clib/libs/libket/Cargo.toml
    cargo build --manifest-path src/ket/clib/libs/kbw/Cargo.toml

    ln -s libket/target/debug/libket.so src/ket/clib/libs
    ln -s kbw/target/debug/libkbw.so src/ket/clib/libs
    ```

3. **Set Up Virtual Environment**

    Set up a virtual environment for Python:

    ```shell
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    ```

4. **Install Dependencies**

    Upgrade pip and install development requirements:

    ```shell
    pip install -U pip
    pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
    ```

5. **Install Ket**

    Install Ket in editable mode:

    ```shell
    pip install -e .[full]
    ```

6. **Run Tests**

    To ensure everything is correctly installed, run the tests:

    ```shell
    pytest
    ```

You're now set up for Ket development! Happy coding! 🚀
