Grove

A collection of quantum algorithms built using Forest. Grove is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Grove currently includes algorithms for:

• The Variational Quantum Eigensolver
• The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm
• The Quantum Fourier Transform
• Phase Estimation
• Quantum Teleportation

Installation

Grove depends on pyQuil, numpy, scipy, networkx, pytest, mock, and matplotlib. To ensure binaries of these modules are installed along with the grove library we recommend installing with pip. First clone the Grove repo and cd into it.

git clone https://github.com/rigetticomputing/grove.git
cd grove

Now the library can be installed with pip.

pip install -e ./

In order to access the Rigetti Forest service an API key or configuration file will need to be installed. Please see the pyQuil documentation.

Dependencies

• pyQuil
• A Forest API key
• Numpy
• Scipy
• Mock (for development testing)
• NetworkX (for building and analyzing graphs)
• Matplotlib (useful for plotting)

Building the Docs

To build the documentation run

sphinx-build -b html docs/ docs/_build
