Perceval_Interop

Perceval_Interop is designed to facilitate a bridge between Perceval, a photonic quantum computing framework, and several leading gate-based frameworks through a python API.

It provides converters to translate gate-based quantum circuits from various frameworks into Perceval's linear optical circuits using dual rail encoding. Currently supported frameworks include:

• Quantum gate circuit conversion from Qiskit, myQLM, and cQASM.
• Quantum states conversion from Qutip and Qiskit.

Installation

Perceval-Interop requires:

• Python between 3.9 and 3.13

PIP

We recommend installing it with pip, and selecting any interop package such as qiskit, qutip, myqlm, or cqasm:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install perceval-interop[qiskit] #install qiskit and seaborn
pip install perceval-interop[qutip] #install qutip
pip install perceval-interop[myqlm] #install myqlm
pip install perceval-interop[cqasm] #install cqasm
pip install perceval-interop[all] #install all above

GitHub

git clone https://github.com/quandela/Perceval

then to install Perceval:

pip install .

Or for developers:

pip install -e .

Running tests

Unit tests files are part of the repository in tests/ and can be run with:

pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
pytest

Additionally, you can see a coverage report with the command:
