Introduction¶
c12-callisto-clients is a Python package with tools that enable a user to communicate with C12’s Callisto emulator, whose purpose is to emulate operations on the C12’s quantum computer hardware.
C12’s quantum computer is based on optimized spin qubits. The spin qubit is realized from electrons trapped in a double quantum dot suspended on a carbon nanotube embedded in a silicon nanofabricated circuit. C12’s spin qubits have high fidelity, scalability and connectivity because of the properties of the materials used.
Installation¶
To use Callisto, you design quantum circuits according to either Qiskit or OpenQASM specifications and send them as jobs to the Callisto quantum emulator.
This is done via Python, so the first step is to install Python and/or an Integrated Development Environment such as PyCharm or Visual Studio Code. Then install the Callisto client.
From the PyPI repository¶
Run the following command inside your local Python environment:
pip install c12_callisto_clients
From the GitHub package¶
In order to run the package, the best approach is to create a Conda environment where all the necessary packages will be installed. To do that, we need to have Conda installed (if that is not the case see Conda installation).
Clone the GitHub repository into local folder:
git clone https://github.com/c12qe/c12simulator-clients.git
Create the Conda environment with the command:
conda env create -f environment.yml
Then activate the Conda environment with:
conda activate c12_callisto_clients
And finally install the dependencies with
poetry install
