Utils

Utils.

The module contains the following tools:

  • LoopMode - Quantum loop mode.
  • count_qubits() - Counting the number of conceptual qubits of your computer.

    THREAD_POOL = 2

count_qubits()

Counting the number of conceptual qubits of your computer.

Conceptual qubit is quantum of algorithm (task) that is executed in iterations of a cycle in a separate processor thread.

Quantum of algorithm is a function for data processing.

Examples:

>>> from ql import count_qubits
>>> count_qubits()
16

Returns:

Type Description
int
