A toolbox for the implementation of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs).

Project description

POVMs

overview

This is a toolbox for working with positive operator-valued measures (POVMs). It enables users to use POVMs for sampling the state of quantum circuits (see also povm_toolbox.sampler) and compute expectation values of any observable of interest (see also povm_toolbox.post_processor). The toolbox includes a library of pre-defined POVMs (see povm_toolbox.library) which provide ready-to-go POVM circuit definitions. You can also implement your own POVM circuits by following the provided interface. Additionally, you can work with POVMs on a quantum-informational theoretical footing (see povm_toolbox.quantum_info).

Installation

Make sure that you have the correct Python environment active, into which you want to install this code, before running the below.

You can install this code via pip:

pip install povm-toolbox

Alternatively, you can install it from source:

git clone git@github.com:qiskit-community/povm-toolbox.git
cd povm-toolbox
pip install -e .

This performs an editable install to simplify code development.

If you intend to develop on this code, you should consider reading the contributing guide.
