class pytket.extensions.qsharp.QsharpSimulatorBackend(backend_name: str = 'Qsharp Backend')#

Backend for simulating a circuit using the QDK.

__init__(backend_name: str = 'Qsharp Backend')#

classmethod available_devices(**kwargs: Any) → List[pytket.backends.backendinfo.BackendInfo]#

Retrieve all available devices as a list of BackendInfo objects, including device name, architecture, supported gate set, gate errors, and other hardware-specific information.

Returns: A list of BackendInfo objects describing available devices.
Return type: List[BackendInfo]

cancel(handle: pytket.backends.resulthandle.ResultHandle) → None#

Cancel a job.

Parameters: handle (ResultHandle) – handle to job
Raises: NotImplementedError – If backend does not support job cancellation

circuit_status(handle: pytket.backends.resulthandle.ResultHandle) → pytket.backends.status.CircuitStatus#: Return a CircuitStatus reporting the status of the circuit execution corresponding to the ResultHandle

default_compilation_pass(optimisation_level: int = 2) → pytket.passes.BasePass#

A suggested compilation pass that will will, if possible, produce an equivalent circuit suitable for running on this backend.

At a minimum it will ensure that compatible gates are used and that all two- qubit interactions are compatible with the backend’s qubit architecture. At higher optimisation levels, further optimisations may be applied.

This is a an abstract method which is implemented in the backend itself, and so is tailored to the backend’s requirements.

Parameters

optimisation_level (int, optional) –

The level of optimisation to perform during compilation.

Level 0 does the minimum required to solves the device constraints, without any optimisation.
Level 1 additionally performs some light optimisations.
Level 2 (the default) adds more computationally intensive optimisations that should give the best results from execution.

Returns

Compilation pass guaranteeing required predicates.

Return type

BasePass

empty_cache() → None#: Manually empty the result cache on the backend.

get_compiled_circuit(circuit: pytket.circuit.Circuit, optimisation_level: int = 2) → pytket.circuit.Circuit#: Return a single circuit compiled with default_compilation_pass(). See Backend.get_compiled_circuits().

get_compiled_circuits(circuits: Sequence[pytket.circuit.Circuit], optimisation_level: int = 2) → List[pytket.circuit.Circuit]#

Compile a sequence of circuits with default_compilation_pass() and return the list of compiled circuits (does not act in place).

As well as applying a degree of optimisation (controlled by the optimisation_level parameter), this method tries to ensure that the circuits can be run on the backend (i.e. successfully passed to process_circuits()), for example by rebasing to the supported gate set, or routing to match the connectivity of the device. However, this is not always possible, for example if the circuit contains classical operations that are not supported by the backend. You may use valid_circuit() to check whether the circuit meets the backend’s requirements after compilation. This validity check is included in process_circuits() by default, before any circuits are submitted to the backend.

If the validity check fails, you can obtain more information about the failure by iterating through the predicates in the required_predicates property of the backend, and running the verify() method on each in turn with your circuit.

Parameters

circuits – The circuits to compile.
optimisation_level (int, optional) – The level of optimisation to perform during compilation. See default_compilation_pass() for a description of the different levels (0, 1 or 2). Defaults to 2.

Returns

Compiled circuits.
