This is the main git repository for my MRes project on the Bravyi-Gosset Algrotihm for simulating quantum circuits, undertaken to fulfill the requirements of my MRes in Delivering Qunantum Technologies at UCL.
The project is split into several chunks:
-
iPython Notebooks These contain prototyping code for generating n-Qubit stabilizer groups, and a small test for bounding the size of approximate decompositions of n-fold magic states in the comp utational basis.
-
'StabiliserRank' This folder contains C-code to implement the pseudo-code descriped by Bravyi & Gosset in the appendices of their paper. When extended with code to generate the correct sequence of Pauli measurements to implement a given circuit, this will implement the full StabiliserRank method
-
Robustness This folder contains python code implementing the `Robustness' measure of Mark Howard and Earl Campbell (Work not yet published), to bound the decompositions of n-qubit states in to sums of Stabiliser states
-
Report This folder contains Tex for generating the MRes report, and can be built using
latexmk --shell-escape -pdf report.tex.
