The Berkeley Quantum Synthesis Toolkit (BQSKit) [bis • kit] is a powerful and portable quantum compiler framework. It can be used with ease to compile quantum programs to efficient physical circuits for any QPU.
BQSKit is available for Python 3.8+ on Linux, macOS, and Windows. BQSKit and its dependencies are listed on the Python Package Index, and as such, pip can easily install it:
pip install bqskit
A standard BQSKit workflow loads a program into the framework, models the target QPU, compiles the program, and exports the resulting circuit. The below example uses BQSKit to optimize an input circuit provided by a qasm file:
from bqskit import compile, Circuit
# Load a circuit from QASM
circuit = Circuit.from_file("input.qasm")
# Compile the circuit
compiled_circuit = compile(circuit)
# Save output as QASM
compiled_circuit.save("output.qasm")
To learn more about BQSKit, follow the tutorial series or refer to the documentation.
You can use the software disclosure to cite the BQSKit package.
Additionally, if you used or extended a specific algorithm, you should cite that individually. BQSKit passes will include a relevant reference in their documentation.
