qredtea
=======

The quantum red tea library of Quantum TEA provides tensor beyond the dense
tensor with numpy or cupy, which could be either tensor for systems with
symmetries or tensor using another backend, e.g., pytorch.

Documentation
=============

[Here](https://quantum_red_tea.baltig-pages.infn.it/py_api_quantum_red_tea/)
is the documentation. The documentation can also be built locally via sphinx.

Backends
========

We list here the supported backends with the tested version:

* `pytorch==2.0.1`
* `jax==0.4.13`
* `tensorflow=2.13.1`

The version allow to install all four tensor backends (numpy, torch, jax, tensorflow)
within python3.8 environment (for CPUs).

License
=======

The project ``qredtea`` is hosted at the repository
``https://baltig.infn.it/quantum_red_tea/py_api_quantum_red_tea.git``,
and is licensed under the following license:

[Apache License 2.0](LICENSE)

The license applies to the files of this project as indicated
in the header of each file, but not its dependencies.


Installation
============

The qredtea library is never used as stand-alone package; it replaces
the tensor backend for one of the quantum TEA applications in agreement
with a qtealeaves version. Therefore, the minimal use-case to explore
the library is together with qtealeaves. Moreover, it can be used as
well with qmatchatea.

Local installation via pip
--------------------------

The package is available via a local pip installation as `pip install .`,
i.e., after cloning the repository.

Dependencies
------------

The python dependencies can be found in the [``requirements.txt``](requirements.txt)
and are required independently of the following use-cases.

Depending on your use-case, more requirements might be necessary at runtime. As
we implement the API to other packages via `qredtea`, we do not require the user
to install all of them.

qmatchatea simulations
----------------------

Quantum circuit simulations via qmatchatea have qtealeaves as a
dependency. Follow the instructions to install qmatchatea to get
the right version of qtealeaves and a matching version of qredtea.

qgreentea simulations
---------------------

If you want to use the qgreentea toolchain with TTNs and aTTNS, you need to
install qtealeaves under a matching version. qgreentea provides instructions
which version is compatible; see installation instructions there. qgreentea
is not yet public, but it will be made public step-by-step.
