Install

Install PaddlePaddle

This dependency will be automatically satisfied when users install Paddle Quantum. Please refer to PaddlePaddle Install and configuration page. This project requires PaddlePaddle 2.2.0 to 2.3.0.

Install Paddle Quantum

We recommend installing Paddle Quantum with pip ,

pip install paddle-quantum

or download all the files and finish the installation locally,

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/quantum

cd quantum
pip install -e .

Environment setup for Quantum Chemistry module

Our qchem module is based on Psi4, so before executing quantum chemistry, we have to install this Python package.

Note

It is recommended that Psi4 is installed in a Python 3.8 environment.

We highly recommend you to install Psi4 via conda. MacOS/Linux user can use the command

conda install psi4 -c psi4

For Windows user, the command is

conda install psi4 -c psi4 -c conda-forge

Note: Please refer to Psi4 for more download options.

Run programs

Now, you can try to run a program to verify whether the Paddle Quantum has been installed successfully. Here we take quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) as an example.

cd paddle_quantum/QAOA/example
python main.py

Note

For the introduction of QAOA, please refer to our QAOA tutorial.
