Python client for Azure Quantum

Project description

Python SDK for Azure Quantum

The azure-quantum package for Python provides functionality for interacting with Azure Quantum workspaces, including creating jobs, listing jobs, and retrieving job results.

For details on how to get started with Azure Quantum, please visit https://azure.com/quantum.

You can also try our Quantum Computing Fundamentals learning path to get familiar with the basic concepts of quantum computing, build quantum programs, and identify the kind of problems that can be solved.

Installing with pip

pip install azure-quantum

Development

The best way to install all the Python pre-reqs packages is to create a new Conda environment. Run at the root of the azure-quantum directory:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Then to activate the environment:

conda activate azurequantum

In case you have created the conda environment a while ago, you can make sure you have the latest versions of all dependencies by updating your environment:

conda env update -f environment.yml --prune

Install the local development package

To install the package in development mode, run:

pip install -e .

Unit tests

To run the unit tests, simply run pytest from the root of the azure-quantum directory:

pytest

To run the a specific unit test class, run:

pytest ./tests/unit/test_job.py

To run the a specific unit test case, run:

pytest -k test_job_refresh

Building the azure-quantum Package

The Azure Quantum Python SDK uses a standard setuptools-based packaging strategy. To build a platform-independent wheel, run the setup script with bdist_wheel instead:

cd src/Python/
python setup.py bdist_wheel

By default, this will create a azure-quantum wheel in dist/ with the version number set to 0.0.0.1. To provide a more useful version number, set the PYTHON_VERSION environment variable before running setup.py.

Environment Variables

In addition to the common Azure SDK environment variables, you can also set the following environment variables to change the behaviour of the Azure Quantum SDK for Python:

Environment Variable Description
AZURE_QUANTUM_PYTHON_APPID Prefixes the HTTP User-Agent header with the specified value
