PyQIR

PyQIR is a set of APIs for generating, parsing, and evaluating Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR). This repository contains:

• pyqir (examples)

  This package provides a Python API for parsing and generating QIR. It is intended to easily integrate the QIR toolchain into existing Python-based frontends. For more advanced scenarios, we recommend taking a look at the LLVM-based infrastructure provided by QAT.

  It also provides an easy way to run generated QIR. It contains the necessary just-in-time compilation infrastructure as well an extensibility mechanism to define what actions to perform when a gate is applied in Python.

• qirlib

  This is a Rust library wrapping LLVM for working with QIR that is used by PyQIR.
