Cirq-on-iqm

Cirq on IQM is an open-source cirq adapter for IQM quantum computers. It is installed as helmi_cirq on LUMI. It is used for running quantum circuits on Helmi.

Available

Currently supported cirq-on-iqm versions:

Version Module LUMI Notes
14.6 helmi_cirq/14.6 X

All modules are based on Tykky using LUMI-container-wrapper. Wrapper scripts have been provided so that common commands such as python, python3, pip and pip3 should work as normal. For more information, see LUMI container wrapper.

The module includes python packages that are often used with cirq, such as matplotlib, numpy, and jupyterlab.

Usage

To use helmi_cirq on LUMI, initialize it with:

module use /appl/local/quantum/modulefiles

and 

module load helmi_cirq

This command will also show how to load helmi_cirq:

module avail helmi_cirq

Example batch script

Example batch script for running a quantum job on Helmi:

LUMI
#!/bin/bash -l

#SBATCH --job-name=helmijob     # Job name
#SBATCH --output=helmijob.o%j   # Name of stdout output file
#SBATCH --error=helmijob.e%j    # Name of stderr error file
#SBATCH --partition=q_fiqci     # Partition (queue) name
#SBATCH --ntasks=1              # One task (process)
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1       # Number of cores (threads)
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=1G        # Memory allocation
#SBATCH --time=00:15:00         # Run time (hh:mm:ss)
#SBATCH --account=project_xxx   # Project for billing

module use /appl/local/quantum/modulefiles
module load helmi_cirq

python -u first_quantum_job.py

Submit the script with sbatch <script_name>.sh.
