torchqc 1.3.0
Quantum simulation library based on PyTorch
Requires Python: >=3.8

# TorchQC: Quantum Dynamics and Machine Learning

## Description
TorchQC is a Python library that is based on the PyTorch deep learning library. Quantum operations and dynamics are entirely implemented using the PyTorch tensor mechanism. This makes all generated data ready for use in Deep Learning models.

## Installation instructions
### Alternative 1 (From PyPI)
* Install package directly from PyPI
```sh
pip install torchqc
```

### Alternative 2 (From source code)
* Clone GitHub repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/qoptics-qtech/torchqc.git
```

* Setup Python virtual environment (Python 3 required)
```sh
python -m venv my_env
```

* Activate venv 
```sh
source my_env/bin/activate
```

* Install required packages
```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

* Install package using src code
```sh
pip install .
```

## Examples execution
The examples folder contains several examples that can be added into three main categories
* Closed and Open Quantum system simulations 
* Quantum optimal control with machine learning
* Quantum optics

All examples are implemented in jupyter notebooks and can be executed by any program that can execute a jupyter notebook, such as Visual Code Studio

## Usage instructions
To use the library, after it is successfully installed, it is required to be added to the program scope using commands such as:

```python
import torchqc
```

Or directly including the submodules of interest:

```python
from torchqc.states import QuantumState
```

After the needed object is in scope, one can use it to perform quantum operations. The following code defines the ground state of a qubit system:

```python
qubit_state = QuantumState.basis(2)[0]
```
