An open-source framework for programming photonic quantum computers. Through a simple object-oriented Python API, Perceval provides tools for composing circuits from linear optical components, defining single-photon sources, manipulating Fock states, running simulations, reproducing published experimental papers and experimenting with a new generation of quantum algorithms. It aims to be a companion tool for developing photonic circuits – for simulating and optimizing their design, modeling both the ideal and realistic behaviors, and proposing a normalized interface to control them through the concept of backends.
Features
- Access powerful backends to simulate quantum algorithms on photonic circuits
- Design algorithms and complex linear optics circuits through a large collection of predefined components
- A collection of known algorithms are available and presented as tutorials
- Run experiments to fine-tune algorithms, compare with experimental data
- Reproduce published articles in few lines of code
- Perceval is optimized to run on a local desktop, with several extensions for HPC clusters
