Module roqoqo::backends

Traits defining the standard form of roqoqo backends.

roqoqo can be used to implement interfaces and backends to quantum hardware, quantum simulators and other software packages. While roqoqo does not require a certain design for general interfaces or backends, roqoqo::backends provides a trait for implementing backends that produce measurement results which can be evaluated to expectation values. This trait is supposed to be implemented for backends connecting to quantum simulators or to real quantum hardware devices.

Note: The following backends are implemented in roqoqo and supported by HQS Quantum Simulations GmbH.

Evaluated backends:

• aqt,
• MockedBackend ( https://github.com/HQSquantumsimulations/qoqo_mock ),
• PyQuestBackend ( https://github.com/HQSquantumsimulations/qoqo_pyquest ).

Other backends:

• qasm ( https://github.com/HQSquantumsimulations/qoqo_qasm ).
