Resource Analyzer Viewer¶

The Resource Analyzer Viewer extension enables you to visualize Quantum Resource Estimates (QREs) directly within the QDE. This integrated viewer transforms complex resource estimation data into interactive visual hierarchies, helping you understand and optimize quantum algorithm resource requirements.

Using Resource Analyzer Viewer

The Resource Analyzer Viewer automatically activates when you open files with .qre-analysis or .qre-analysis.json extensions in VS Code Web

Key Features¶

Interactive Hierarchical View: Navigate resource estimates through expandable tree structures
Multiple Resource Metrics: View mulitples resource types like Active Volume and Toffs simultaneously or individually
Percentage Analysis: Understand resource distribution across algorithm components

Generate a `.qre-analysis` file¶

You can use Workbench to generate a .qre-analysis file. Simply serialize the QPU to a .qre-analysis file then use Construct Tools to view it.

from psiqworkbench import QPU
from construct_tools import CallGraph, FlameGraph

qpu = QPU(num_qubits = 10)

# Your code goes here
...

qc.serialize("../path/to/file.qre-analysis", dialect="qre-analysis")

CallGraph(src="../path/to/file.qre-analysis")

Viewing Resource Estimates¶

When you open a Resource Analyzer file in the QDE, the extension renders an interactive visualization showing resource requirements at multiple levels of detail. The viewer presents quantum resource estimates in a hierarchical format, allowing you to drill down from high-level algorithm costs to individual component contributions.

Integration with Construct¶

The Resource Analyzer Viewer seamlessly integrates with resource estimates generated by Resource Analyzer. Save your analyses in a Construct project, then open them in QDE to explore resource requirements alongside your quantum algorithm implementation.
