Available

Currently supported cirq-on-iqm versions:

Version Module LUMI Notes
13.2 helmi_cirq/13.2 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.

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 --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.
