Installation¶

There are several ways to install Workbench depending on your environment.

Using the QDE¶

If you're working in the QDE, you're all set! This integrated development environment includes the package psiqworkbench and its dependencies.

Installing pip package¶

If you're working outside the QDE and have access to the released psiqworkbench package, you can install it using pip:

pip install psiqworkbench

Building from source¶

If you want to build the psiqworkbench package from its source as a user, it is recommended to do this using pip. Navigate to the folder containing the psiqworkbench source and run:

pip install -e .

Validating your setup¶

You can validate your setup by running the following program in Python

from psiqworkbench import QPU

qpu = QPU(num_qubits=2)
qpu.print_state_vector()

The expected output of this program is:

State vector:
  |0> (1, 0)
