Qiskit addon: multi-product formulas (MPF)¶
Qiskit addons are a collection of modular tools for building utility-scale workloads powered by Qiskit.
This package contains the Qiskit addon for multi-product formulas (MPFs). These can be used to reduce the Trotter error of Hamiltonian dynamics.
This package currently contains the following submodules:
qiskit_addon_mpf.staticfor working with static MPFs [1-2].
Documentation¶
All documentation is available here.
Installation¶
We encourage installing this package via pip, when possible:
pip install 'qiskit-addon-mpf'
For more installation information refer to the installation instructions in the documentation.
Deprecation Policy¶
We follow semantic versioning and are guided by the principles in Qiskit’s deprecation policy. We may occasionally make breaking changes in order to improve the user experience. When possible, we will keep old interfaces and mark them as deprecated, as long as they can co-exist with the new ones. Each substantial improvement, breaking change, or deprecation will be documented in the release notes.
Contributing¶
