§QuantRS2 - High-Performance Quantum Computing Framework for Rust

QuantRS2 (/kwɒntərz tu:/) is a comprehensive, production-ready quantum computing framework built on Rust’s zero-cost abstractions and the SciRS2 scientific computing ecosystem.

§🌟 Overview

QuantRS2 provides a unified, modular toolkit for quantum computing that spans:

Quantum Circuit Design with expressive DSLs and visual representations
Multiple Simulation Backends (state-vector, tensor-network, stabilizer, GPU-accelerated)
Real Hardware Integration (IBM Quantum, Azure Quantum, AWS Braket)
Quantum Machine Learning (QNNs, QGANs, VQE, QAOA)
Quantum Annealing (D-Wave integration, QUBO/Ising solvers)

§🚀 Quick Start

§Example 1: Bell State Circuit

Create and simulate a Bell state (maximally entangled 2-qubit state):

// This example demonstrates basic quantum circuit creation and simulation
// Requires: quantrs2 = { version = "0.1.0-beta.2", features = ["circuit", "sim"] }

use quantrs2_circuit::Circuit;
use quantrs2_sim::StateVectorSimulator;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a 2-qubit circuit
    let mut circuit = Circuit::<2>::new();

    // Apply Hadamard gate to qubit 0
    circuit.h(0);

    // Apply CNOT gate (control: 0, target: 1)
    circuit.cnot(0, 1);

    // Simulate the circuit
    let simulator = StateVectorSimulator::new();
    let result = simulator.run(&circuit, 1000)?;

    // Print measurement statistics
    println!("Bell state measurements: {:?}", result.counts());
    // Expected: ~50% |00⟩, ~50% |11⟩

    Ok(())
}

§Example 2: Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE)

Compute the ground state energy of a molecular Hamiltonian:

// This example demonstrates VQE usage with the quantum ML module
// Requires: quantrs2 = { version = "0.1.0-beta.2", features = ["ml"] }

// Define H2 molecule Hamiltonian
let hamiltonian = MolecularHamiltonian::h2_sto3g(0.74)?;

// Create parameterized ansatz circuit
let ansatz = ParameterizedCircuit::hardware_efficient(4, 2);

// Configure VQE with Adam optimizer
let vqe = VQE::builder()
    .hamiltonian(hamiltonian)
    .ansatz(ansatz)
    .optimizer(Adam::default())
    .max_iterations(100)
    .build()?;

// Run optimization
let result = vqe.optimize()?;

println!("Ground state energy: {:.6} Ha", result.energy);
println!("Optimal parameters: {:?}", result.parameters);

§Example 3: Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA)

Solve MaxCut problem on a graph:

// This example demonstrates QAOA usage with the quantum ML module
// Requires: quantrs2 = { version = "0.1.0-beta.2", features = ["ml"] }

// Define graph edges for MaxCut problem
let edges = vec![(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 0), (0, 2)];
let graph = Graph::from_edges(&edges, 4);

// Configure QAOA with 3 layers
let qaoa = QAOA::new(graph, 3);

// Run optimization
let result = qaoa.optimize(500)?;

println!("MaxCut value: {}", result.objective);
println!("Optimal cut: {:?}", result.bitstring);

§Example 4: Quantum Annealing with D-Wave

// This example demonstrates quantum annealing with D-Wave integration
// Requires: quantrs2 = { version = "0.1.0-beta.2", features = ["anneal"] }

// Define QUBO problem
let mut qubo = QUBO::new(4);
qubo.add_term(0, 0, -1.0);
qubo.add_term(1, 1, -1.0);
qubo.add_term(0, 1, 2.0);

// Connect to D-Wave
let client = DWaveClient::from_env()?;

// Submit and solve
let result = client.sample_qubo(&qubo, 1000).await?;

println!("Best solution: {:?}", result.best_sample());
println!("Energy: {:.4}", result.best_energy());

§🔬 Advanced Features

§Automatic Differentiation for Variational Algorithms

QuantRS2 integrates with SciRS2’s automatic differentiation engine for efficient gradient computation:

// Define parametrized quantum circuit
let params = Variable::new(vec![0.5, 1.2, 0.8]);
let circuit = ParameterizedCircuit::from_parameters(&params);

// Compute expectation value
let energy = circuit.expectation_value(&hamiltonian)?;

// Automatic gradient computation
let gradients = backward(&energy)?;

§Circuit Optimization and Compilation

Automatic circuit optimization reduces gate count and depth:

let mut circuit = Circuit::<5>::new();
// ... build circuit ...

// Apply optimization passes
let optimized = optimize::pipeline()
    .add_pass(optimize::RemoveIdentityGates)
    .add_pass(optimize::MergeSingleQubitGates)
    .add_pass(optimize::CommuteCNOTs)
    .run(&circuit)?;

println!("Original depth: {}", circuit.depth());
println!("Optimized depth: {}", optimized.depth());

§Error Mitigation

Built-in error mitigation techniques for noisy quantum devices:

let result = client
    .run_circuit(&circuit)
    .with_error_mitigation(ErrorMitigation::ZNE { scale_factors: vec![1.0, 1.5, 2.0] })
    .shots(10000)
    .execute()
    .await?;

§Tensor Network Contraction

Efficient simulation of low-entanglement quantum circuits:

let simulator = TensorNetworkSimulator::builder()
    .strategy(ContractionStrategy::Greedy)
    .max_bond_dimension(128)
    .build();

let result = simulator.run(&circuit, 1000)?;

§🔧 Dependencies and Integration

§SciRS2 Foundation

QuantRS2 is built on the SciRS2 scientific computing ecosystem:

scirs2-core: Complex numbers, random number generation, SIMD operations
scirs2-linalg: Unitary matrix operations, eigenvalue solvers
scirs2-autograd: Automatic differentiation for variational algorithms
scirs2-optimize: Optimization algorithms (Adam, L-BFGS, COBYLA)
scirs2-fft: Fast Fourier Transform for Quantum Fourier Transform
scirs2-sparse: Sparse matrix operations for large Hamiltonians
scirs2-neural: Neural network primitives for quantum ML

Important: QuantRS2 follows strict SciRS2 integration policies. All array operations use scirs2_core::ndarray, all complex numbers use scirs2_core::{Complex64, Complex32}, and all random number generation uses scirs2_core::random. See SCIRS2_INTEGRATION_POLICY.md for details.

§OptiRS Integration

Advanced optimization algorithms from OptiRS:

let optimizer = DifferentialEvolution::default();
let result = vqe.with_optimizer(optimizer).optimize()?;

§🎯 Use Cases

let h2o = Molecule::new()
    .add_atom("O", [0.0, 0.0, 0.0])

    .add_atom("H", [0.0, -0.757, 0.586])
    .build()?;

// Compute ground state energy
let hamiltonian = h2o.hamiltonian(BasisSet::STO3G)?;
let vqe = VQE::new(hamiltonian);
let energy = vqe.optimize()?.energy;

§Quantum Machine Learning

// Build hybrid quantum-classical neural network
let qnn = QuantumNeuralNetwork::builder()
    .add_layer(QuantumLayer::new(4, 2))  // 4 qubits, 2 layers
    .add_classical_layer(Dense::new(16, 10))
    .build()?;

// Train on dataset
qnn.fit(&train_data, &train_labels, epochs: 50)?;

§Combinatorial Optimization

// Solve traveling salesman problem
let distances = vec![vec![0.0, 2.0, 3.0], vec![2.0, 0.0, 1.0], vec![3.0, 1.0, 0.0]];
let tsp = TravelingSalesman::new(distances);
let solution = tsp.solve_quantum_annealing()?;

println!("Optimal route: {:?}", solution.route);
println!("Total distance: {:.2}", solution.distance);

§Quantum Cryptography

// Quantum key distribution
let alice = BB84::new_sender(1024);
