qat.qpus.ClassicalQPU

class qat.qpus.ClassicalQPU(random=False, **kwargs)

A simulator that only handles classical gates (X, CNOT, CCNOT, etc).

The main purpose of this simulator is to debug classical oracles.

The default behavior is to initialize all the (not so quantum) bits to 0:

from qat.qpus import ClassicalQPU
from qat.lang.AQASM import *

prog = Program()
qbits = prog.qalloc(10)
X(qbits[0])
for i in range(1, 10):
    CNOT(qbits[0], qbits[i])
job = prog.to_circ().to_job()

qpu = ClassicalQPU()
result = qpu.submit(job)
assert len(result.raw_data) == 1 # The result will always have a simple sample
for sample in result:
    print(sample.state)

|1111111111>

It is also possible to assign a random initial value to the qubits:

from qat.qpus import ClassicalQPU
from qat.lang.AQASM import *

prog = Program()
qbits = prog.qalloc(10)
X(qbits[0])
for i in range(1, 10):
    CNOT(qbits[0], qbits[i])
job = prog.to_circ().to_job()

qpu = ClassicalQPU(random=True)
result = qpus.submit(job)
assert len(result.raw_data) == 1 # The result will always have a simple sample
for sample in result:
    print(sample.state)
