Quantum-lab

Tested on ubuntu 20.04.

Environment setup

1. Install anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
2. Install direnv: https://direnv.net/
3. Initialize shell for usage with conda

$ conda init

4. Clone this repo

$ git clone https://github.com/artgromov/quantum-lab.git

5. Create and setup env

$ cd quantum
$ direnv allow

6. Install conda env jupyter-lab kernel

$ ipython kernel install --name quantum-lab --display-name 'Quantum Lab' --user

Environment usage after setup

You can change to quantum-lab dir to activate env and run any code directly.

$ cd quantum-lab
direnv: loading ~/quantum-lab/.envrc
direnv: export +CONDA_PREFIX_1 ~CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV ~CONDA_PREFIX ~CONDA_SHLVL ~PATH

Or just start jupyter-lab and run notebook files with "Quantum Lab" kernel.

IBMQ credentials setup

1. Create account on https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/
2. Create ~/.qiskit directory if not present.
3. Add ibmq section to ~/.qiskit/qiskitrc file

[ibmq]
token = <your token here>
url = https://auth.quantum-computing.ibm.com/api
verify = True

replace string with your actual API token from https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/

4. Done. Now you can use following code to access IBMQ:

import helpers
provider = helpers.get_ibmq_provider()
