To run a program, a computer needs to understand how to perform each operation written in the code. But there are possibly thousands of programming languages which contain extremely many basic operations. How can one computer run them all? It can do so using compilers: Software written in a language the Read more…
We’ve uploaded a short Mathematica notebook which allows one to generate and play with the unitary matrices generated by short, rudimentary quantum circuits. Check it out on the resources page.
In support of open science, we’ve made publicly available the simulation code used in our recent study of using variational imaginary time evolution on hybrid classical-quantum computers to discover energy spectra. The code is hosted here on github, and includes a brief demo of its usage. Discover more of the Read more…
We’ve added a guide on using the GNU Scientific library – a powerful C/C++ numerical methods library – on OSX and linux supercomputers (using the Oxford ARCUS-B as an example). Read it here!
We’ve added a guide on setting up a remote file system in OSX, so that you can edit files stored on a supercomputer as if they were on your own machine. Read it here!
Simulation is crucial to many sciences. We simulate cosmic events before we spy them in the skies. We simulate molecular dynamics to inform our synthesis of new drugs. We simulate electronic circuits before we build them, and quantum circuits are no exception. But simulating a quantum circuit is especially difficult. Read more…
We’ve added a guide on installing ProjectQ, a powerful Python quantum-computer simulation framework, on the ARCHER and ARCUS-B supercomputers. Read it here!
We’ve begun compiling a list of useful SLURM commands, which you can view here.
We’ve added a python script for generating a SLURM submission script which launches multiple jobs to sweep a given set of parameters. Read about it here or view it on github here. Stay tuned for a unix cmd tool, and an in-browser tool.
We’ve added tools for outputting Python and C data to a form Mathematica can read. Read about them here, or view them on Github here and here.
