Quanta

Quantum Calculator for understanding variables and outcomes

---

Quanta is a Python-based Quantum Calculator with a graphical user interface (GUI) built using Tkinter. It enables users to perform various quantum computations, including observing qubits, calculating error rates, applying quantum gates, calculating spin, and running Grover's algorithm. Useful for building programs that require understanding gates, states and different aspects of running qubits for software or hardware quantum systems.

Features

• Observe Qubits: Measure a specified number of qubits and view the results.
• Calculate Error Rates: Determine the error rate based on qubit measurements.
• Apply Quantum Gates: Apply various quantum gates (RX, RY, RZ, H, X) to selected qubits.
• Calculate Spin: Compute the spin of a qubit based on its state.
• Grover's Algorithm: Run Grover's algorithm to analyze quantum search speed.
• Real-time Logs: Monitor application logs within the GUI and access detailed logs in the quantum_verse_calculator.log file.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11: Ensure you have Python 3.11 installed. You can download it from the official website.
• pip: Python's package installer should be available with your Python installation.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/R-D-BioTech-Alaska/Quanta.git
cd Quanta

Install Dependencies

Quanta relies on several Python packages. It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies.

1. Create a Virtual Environment

   python3.11 -m venv venv

2. Activate the Virtual Environment

   • Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

   • macOS/Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Required Packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   If requirements.txt is not provided, install the necessary packages manually:

   pip install qiskit qiskit-aer

   Tkinter is included with standard Python installations. If it's missing, refer to your operating system's instructions to install it.

Usage

Run the Quanta application using the following command:

python Quanta.py

Application Tabs

1. Observe Qubits

   • Number of Qubits: Specify how many qubits you want to observe.
