Honeywell Quantum Solutions Devices¶
The PennyLane-Honeywell plugin provides the ability for PennyLane to access devices available via Honeywell Quantum Solutions’ cloud hardware service.
Cloud ion-trap machines¶
This PennyLane device connects you to ion-trap machines available from Honeywell Quantum Solutions.
Once the plugin has been installed, you can use this device
directly in PennyLane by specifying "honeywell.hqs" and providing the name of the online hardware machine
you wish to access:
import pennylane as qml
dev = qml.device("honeywell.hqs", "machine_name", wires=2)
@qml.qnode(dev)
def circuit(w, x, y, z):
qml.RX(w, wires=0)
qml.CNOT(wires=[0,1])
qml.RY(0.5, wires=0)
return qml.expval(qml.PauliZ(0))
where machine_name is a string specifying the specific online hardware you wish to use.
Contact Honeywell Quantum Solutions to receive platform access and machine names.
Remote backend access¶
The user will need to obtain access credentials for the Honeywell Quantum
Solutions platform in order to use these remote devices.
These credentials should be provided to PennyLane via a configuration file,
device argument or environment variable.
Specifically, the variable HQS_USER or the user_email device argument
must contain a valid email address for Honeywell’s online platform. Upon a
first time login and after 30 days of a successful login, a prompt will ask
for the password associated with the user email.
