PauLie

The PauLie package is an open-source library for studying various algebraic properties of quantum circuits. This first release focuses on the classification of the circuit's dynamical Lie algebra given the generators as Paulistrings.

Make sure to have Python >= 3.12 installed.

Installation

Clone the repository. Once you have poetry installed, run:

poetry install

Getting started

The following code gives an example of usage:

    from paulie.common.pauli_string_factory import get_pauli_string as p
    
    n_qubits = 6
    generators = p(["XYZX", "ZZYZY"], n = n_qubits)
    algebra = generators.get_algebra()
    print(f"number of qubits = {n_qubits}, algebra = {algebra}")

Feel free to contribute and check out our open issues. We are also happy to chat with you via Discord

Testing

In order to run the test suite, run:

poetry run python -m pytest
