leaky

WARNING: This is a work in progress and there will be no gaurentee of backward compatibility until the first stable release.

An implementation of Google's Pauli+ simulator. It uses stim.TableauSimulator internally for stabilizer simulation and adds support for leakage errors.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install leakysim

Built from source

git clone https://github.com/inmzhang/leaky.git
cd leaky
pip install .

Basic usage

import leaky
import stim

# Quantum channel that can includes leakage transitions
channel_2q = leaky.LeakyPauliChannel(2)
# Qubits order is in least-significant bit order, the first qubit is the leftmost
# state in the Dirac notation
# leakage state 0 represents computational space, nth state represent n+1 leakage space
leak_from = leaky.LeakageStatus(2)
# the second qubit will leak into the first leakage space (|2⟩)
leak_to = leaky.LeakageStatus(status=[0, 1])

# |C⟩|C⟩ -> |C⟩|2⟩ with associated Pauli operator X on the first qubit
channel_2q.add_transition(leak_from, leak_to, "XI", 1.0)
s = leaky.Simulator(4, [channel_2q])

# The leakage channel can be annotated in the circuit with a special tag `leaky<n>`
# attached to the `I` instruction, where `n` represents the nth channel bound to the
# simulator during initialization. The channel will be broadcast to the targets
# of the `I` instruction based on the channel dimensions.
circuit = stim.Circuit("""
R 0 1 2 3
X 0 2
CNOT 0 1 2 3
I[leaky<0>] 0 1 2 3
M 0 1 2 3
""")
s.do_circuit(circuit)
assert len(s.leaky_channels) == 1
assert s.current_measurement_record().tolist() == [0, 2, 0, 2]

# Another way to apply the leakage channel is by calling `apply_leaky_channel` method
s.apply_leaky_channel([1, 2], channel_2q)
