OpenQASM Compiler

Translating quantum circuits

myQLM provides a script to translate a QASM file into a myQLM circuit file. For instance, the following bash command generate a file bell.circ containing a myQLM circuit from a text file bell.qasm

# Bash command
oqasm2circ bell.qasm bell.cirq

The Python code corresponding to this translate uses the class OqasmParser

from qat.interop.openqasm import OqasmParser

# Define a bell pair QASM circuit
bell_data = """
OPENQASM 2.0;

// Allocate qubits and cbits
qreg q[2];
creg c[2];

// Define the circuit
h q[0];
cx q[0],q[1];

// Measure
measure q[0] -> c[0];
measure q[1] -> c[1];
"""

# Translate into a myQLM circuit
parser = OqasmParser()
circuit = parser.compile(bell_data)
print("The circuit is composed of gates",
      list(circuit.iterate_simple()))

The circuit is composed of gates [('H', [], [0]), ('CNOT', [], [0, 1]), ('MEASURE', [0], [0]), ('MEASURE', [1], [1])]

Note

The 2.0 version of OPENQASM is the only one fully supported, other versions might work flawlessly, but they haven’t been tested.
