TensorCircuit is the next generation of quantum software framework with support for automatic differentiation, just-in-time compiling, hardware acceleration, and vectorized parallelism.

TensorCircuit is built on top of modern machine learning frameworks: Jax, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. It is specifically suitable for highly efficient simulations of quantum-classical hybrid paradigm and variational quantum algorithms in ideal, noisy and approximate cases. It also supports real quantum hardware access and provides CPU/GPU/QPU hybrid deployment solutions since v0.9.

## Getting Started

Please begin with [Quick Start](/docs/source/quickstart.rst) in the [full documentation](https://tensorcircuit.readthedocs.io/).

For more information on software usage, sota algorithm implementation and engineer paradigm demonstration, please refer to 70+ [example scripts](/examples) and 30+ [tutorial notebooks](https://tensorcircuit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#tutorials). API docstrings and test cases in [tests](/tests) are also informative.

The following are some minimal demos.

- Circuit manipulation:

```python
import tensorcircuit as tc
c = tc.Circuit(2)
c.H(0)
c.CNOT(0,1)
c.rx(1, theta=0.2)
print(c.wavefunction())
print(c.expectation_ps(z=[0, 1]))
print(c.sample(allow_state=True, batch=1024, format="count_dict_bin"))
```

- Runtime behavior customization:

```python
tc.set_backend("tensorflow")
tc.set_dtype("complex128")
tc.set_contractor("greedy")
```

- Automatic differentiations with jit:

```python
def forward(theta):
    c = tc.Circuit(2)
    c.R(0, theta=theta, alpha=0.5, phi=0.8)
    return tc.backend.real(c.expectation((tc.gates.z(), [0])))

g = tc.backend.grad(forward)
g = tc.backend.jit(g)
theta = tc.array_to_tensor(1.0)
print(g(theta))
```

<details>
  <summary> More highlight features for TensorCircuit (click for details) </summary>

- Sparse Hamiltonian generation and expectation evaluation:

```python
n = 6
pauli_structures = []
weights = []
for i in range(n):
    pauli_structures.append(tc.quantum.xyz2ps({"z": [i, (i + 1) % n]}, n=n))
    weights.append(1.0)
for i in range(n):
    pauli_structures.append(tc.quantum.xyz2ps({"x": [i]}, n=n))
    weights.append(-1.0)
h = tc.quantum.PauliStringSum2COO(pauli_structures, weights)
print(h)
# BCOO(complex64[64, 64], nse=448)
c = tc.Circuit(n)
c.h(range(n))
energy = tc.templates.measurements.operator_expectation(c, h)
# -6
```

- Large-scale simulation with tensor network engine

```python
# tc.set_contractor("cotengra-30-10")
n=500
c = tc.Circuit(n)
c.h(0)
c.cx(range(n-1), range(1, n))
c.expectation_ps(z=[0, n-1], reuse=False)
```

- Density matrix simulator and quantum info quantities

```python
c = tc.DMCircuit(2)
c.h(0)
c.cx(0, 1)
c.depolarizing(1, px=0.1, py=0.1, pz=0.1)
dm = c.state()
print(tc.quantum.entropy(dm))
print(tc.quantum.entanglement_entropy(dm, [0]))
print(tc.quantum.entanglement_negativity(dm, [0]))
print(tc.quantum.log_negativity(dm, [0]))
```

</details>

## Install

The package is written in pure Python and can be obtained via pip as:

```python
pip install tensorcircuit
```

We recommend you install this package with tensorflow also installed as:

```python
pip install tensorcircuit[tensorflow]
```

Other optional dependencies include `[torch]`, `[jax]`, `[qiskit]` and `[cloud]`.

For the nightly build of tensorcircuit with new features, try:

```python
pip uninstall tensorcircuit
pip install tensorcircuit-nightly
```

We also have [Docker support](/docker).
