ProjectQ: An open source software framework for quantum computing

VM6502-Q Emulator

This is a working 6502 emulator with support for quantum operations provided by qrack.

See ReadMe.txt for the original readme documentation.

Building

Clone qrack. Follow the instructions on that repository for installing qrack, including OpenCL support.

Specify the SDL2 include directory:

export SDLDIR=/usr/include/SDL2

(...Or wherever your SDL2 headers reside on your system.)

From qrack checkout directory, for the v7 API:

mkdir _build && cd _build && cmake -DENABLE_BCD=ON -DENABLE_ROT_API=ON -DENABLE_REG_GATES=ON .. && make install

For v6 API, the -D options are not necessary. The make install operation might require sudo privileges.

Then, make all in the vm6502q checkout directory. This will use the installed qrack library and headers.

Usage

Run ./vm65 -r file.dat or use make run from the examples repository.

projectq's Issues

pybind11 dependancy in pip3 install ProjectQ

I'm working on a Dockerized Qrack-ProjectQ-SimulaQron container and found that the requirements for the pip3 install projectq missed the pybind11 dependancy:

installing pybind11 before installing ProjectQ fixes this:

So methinks adding pybind11 as a requirement for the correct installation of ProjectQ is in place IMHO.

Manageable diff for ProjectQ-Framework consideration

The vm6502q organization intends to officially support Qrack as an optional simulator for ProjectQ, under the Apache 2.0 license. This lets Qrack take advantage of the compilation of ProjectQ. It also provides effective cluster/multiprocessor support for Qrack via a stack of SimulaQron -> ProjectQ -> Qrack.

In the process of developing and debugging the integration, the changes went out of the original scope, and the diff diverged too far from the official original project. The immediate priority is to revert the diff as much as possible and to break the changes up into decoupled PRs, if necessary, to present for consideration for adoption as an optional simulator in the official original ProjectQ repository.

Request module

When I try to call the backend in projectQ, it gives me an error "no module named request". How to get rid of this error?
