GMSEnvironment#

class GMSEnvironment[source]#

This environment provides a convenient interface for constructing quantum algorithms using the Ion-trap native GMS gates. GMS gates allow entangling more than 2 qubits in a single step and can therefore boost performance in many situations. For more information on GMS gates consult https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9810040 . The techniques for converting the circuits presented to this environment are mostly based on https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9815035 .

This environment allows to code blocks of phase-only gates as we are used to but compiles these blocks to GMS gates.

Examples

We create a function performing the quantum Fourier-transform using GMS gates:

from qrisp import QuantumEnvironment, GMSEnvironment, h, cp, swap
import numpy as np

def QFT(qv, use_gms = False):

    n = qv.size

    if use_gms:
        env = GMSEnvironment
    else:
        env = QuantumEnvironment

    for i in range(n):
        h(qv[i])

        if i == n-1:
            break

        with env():

            #This is the block which converted to GMS gates
            #We can only use the gates p, cp and rz in here

            for k in range(n-i-1):
                cp(2*np.pi/2**(k+2), qv[k+i+1], qv[i])

    for i in range(n//2):
        swap(qv[i], qv[n-i-1])

We inspect the resulting quantum circuit:

>>> from qrisp import QuantumFloat, invert
>>> qf = QuantumFloat(5)
>>> qf[:] = 13
>>> QFT(qf, use_gms = True)
>>> print(qf.qs)

Live QuantumVariables:
---------------------
QuantumFloat qf

Now we check that the GMS version indeed performs the same operation as the CNOT version by performing the inverse of the CNOT version.

>>> with invert(): QFT(qf, use_gms = False)
>>> print(qf)
{13: 1.0}
