Qibo: open-source middleware
For quantum computing and quantum simulation
Quantum computers need a sophisticated software stack to transform high-level code to physical actions on qubits. The Hub supports an open-source option called Qibo, which can also be used for quantum simulation.
Qibo offers a language API to support programming on classical and quantum backends and application modules for specialised purposes.
This video is a quick introduction to Qibo from our QuTalent team. For more, you can enrol in the full course “Quantum Computing with Qibo: Basic matters”.
For full details of Qibo, see Qibo’s own website at qibo.science
Qibo at NQCH
As part of the work of the National Quantum Computing Hub, experts in Singapore are participating in the development and testing of some of the Qibo modules. The team’s efforts so far have focused on the following applications:
A plugin for quantum chemistry simulations
qibo.science/qibochem/stable/
For tensor network simulations on GPUs and multi-node CPUs, scaling to a larger number of qubits than exact simulations
qibo.science/qibotn/stable/
For control of self-hosted quantum hardware, automating the implementation of quantum circuits
qibo.science/qibolab/stable/
Runs calibration routines for one and two qubits to characterise quantum hardware
qibo.science/qibocal/stable/
A global project
Qibo is an international effort involving laboratories in universities and research institutions in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Hub experts are proud to be collaborators in this global network.
