Quantum Channel Discrimination

Final project of the UPC Quantum Engineering postgraduate.

Tutor: Matteo Rosati

Students: Jesus Huerta, Albert Solana

We are following the paper Discriminating qubit amplitude damping channels to understand the experiments and results described to optimize the input and measurement steps to discriminate amplitude damping channels.

In this repository there will be the documentation and quantum experiments implemented on IBM Qiskit tool.

How to get started

• Install Python requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

• Install Qiskit latest version

pip install qiskit

• Check Qiskit Version

python basic-setup/qiskit-test.py

Should output at least these versions of Qiskit:

{'qiskit-terra': '0.16.1', 'qiskit-aer': '0.7.2', 'qiskit-ignis': '0.5.1', 'qiskit-ibmq-provider': '0.11.1', 'qiskit-aqua': '0.8.1', 'qiskit': '0.23.2'}

• Open gettingStarted notebook and run all cells to check that your system is working

• You should already have an IBM Quantum Experience account. You can create one following these steps Create an IBM Quantum Experience account.

• Once created, check that you can retrieve your account on a given notebook. Open load-ibm-provider notebook and run the cells to check that you can load your account successfully and select a Quantum backend.
