BackendServer

class BackendServer(run_func, socket_ip_address=None, port=None, transport=None, name='generic_quantum_backend_server', ping_func=None, online_status=True)

This class allows convenient setup of a server respecting the Qrisp interface.

Parameters

run_funcfunction

A function that receives a QuantumCircuit, an integer specifying the amount of shots and a token in the form of a string. It returns the counts as a dictionary of bitstrings.

socket_ip_addressstr, optional

The IP address of where the listening socket should be opened. By default, the IP address of the hosting machine will be used.

portint, optional

The port on which to listen for requests. By default, 9090 will be used.

namestr, optional

A name for the server. The default is “generic_quantum_backend_server”.

ping_funcfunction, optional

A function returning a BackendStatus object. The default is None.

online_statusbool, optional

A bool specifying whether the server should be able to handle requests directly after startup. The default is True.

Examples

We create a server listening on the localhost IP address using a run function which prints the token and queries the QASM-simulator.

def run_func(qc, shots, token):

    #Convert to qiskit
    from qrisp.interface.circuit_converter import convert_circuit
    qiskit_qc = convert_circuit(qc, "qiskit")

    print(token)

    from qiskit import Aer
    qiskit_backend = Aer.get_backend('qasm_simulator')

    #Run Circuit on the Qiskit backend
    return qiskit_backend.run(qiskit_qc, shots = shots).result().get_counts()

from qrisp.interface import BackendServer
example_server = BackendServer(run_func, socket_ip_address = "127.0.0.1", port = 8080)
example_server.start()

Methods

BackendServer.start()	Starts the server.
BackendServer.stop()	Stops the server.
