Libket

Libket serves as the core of the Ket Quantum Programming platform, providing a runtime library for the quantum programming language Ket, as well as simple interfaces for developing quantum applications in C/C++ and Rust. For more information, please refer to the documentation at https://quantumket.org.

Libket Quantum Programming Library

The Libket library provides a set of tools for quantum programming in Rust. It serves as the runtime library for the Python-embedded quantum programming language Ket.

Note: For more information about the Ket programming language, please visit https://quantumket.org.

Usage

To use this library, add the following line to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
libket = "0.3.1"

Additionally, you may need to include the following dependencies for quantum code serialization/deserialization and the KBW quantum computer simulator:

serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
kbw = "0.1.6"

Examples

The following example demonstrates the implementation of Grover's algorithm using Libket:

use ket::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let n = 4;  // Number of qubits

    let p = Process::new_ptr();  // Create a new quantum process

    let mut qubits = Quant::new(&p, n)?;  // Create a quantum register with `n` qubits

    h(&qubits)?;  // Apply Hadamard gate to all qubits

    let steps = (std::f64::consts::PI / 4.0 * f64::sqrt((1 << n) as f64)) as i32;  // Calculate the number of steps for the Grover's algorithm

    for _ in 0..steps {
        ctrl(&qubits.slice(1..), || z(&qubits.at(0)))??;  // Apply controlled-Z gate with the first qubit as the target and the rest as controls

        around(
            &p,
            || {
                h(&qubits).unwrap();  // Apply Hadamard gate to all qubits
                x(&qubits).unwrap();  // Apply Pauli-X gate to all qubits
            },
            || ctrl(&qubits.slice(1..), || z(&qubits.at(0))),  // Apply controlled-Z gate with the first qubit as the target and the rest as controls
        )???;
    }

    let _ = measure(&mut qubits)?;  // Perform measurement on the qubits

    let mut p = p.borrow_mut();
    p.prepare_for_execution()?;  // Prepare the quantum program for execution
    println!("{:#?}", p.blocks());  // Print the blocks of the quantum program

    Ok(())
}

The example demonstrates the usage of various Libket functions to implement Grover's algorithm, including qubit initialization, gate operations, control structures, and measurement.
