Jet installation issue

Photonic Software
1

Hi there,

I am interested in using Jet via windows and finally got all the requirements together. But when building the jet module via

pip install quantum-jet

(using python 3.7,3.8,3.9,3.10) , it almost finished and then I get this ERROR:

ERROR: Could not build wheels for quantum-jet, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I am quite lost at this point… Can someone see where the issue is coming from? I used a blank virtual environment and also tried the option

pip install quantum-jet --no-cache-dir

as stated in several stackoverflow posts.

Hello @zephir, I receive the same error when running pip install quantum-jet in Colab. Could you perform your tensor contractions in pennylane?

Hi @zephir

Thanks for mentioning this. Unfortunately, JET development is currently inactive, and so adding Windows support is not on our roadmap right now. If you need to use JET under Windows, I suggest using WSL and Python 3.9 as your target, which will allow you to use the Linux wheels. With this, you should be able to have a working variant of JET through Python.

As JET is open source, if you wish to add Windows support, please feel free to consider adding support for the MSVC compiler to GitHub - XanaduAI/jet: Jet is a cross-platform library for simulating quantum circuits using tensor network contractions., though this may be a non-trivial amount of effort.

We have on our roadmap to add support for a tensor-network backend to PennyLane in future, so hopefully the above will give you the functionality you require until this is released.

Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you two for the quick response. I wanted to set a a linux patition anyway, so this will be happening. For other interested people: I can use it with cygwin gcc-g++ 11 on windows:

(-1.1451,0.443118)
(0.455968,0.294585)
(0.16874,0.163228)
(-1.41503,-0.183477)
You have successfully used Jet version 0.2.3-dev

But I’d rather use Python, as this is only the begining… I hope I can ask again if something will go wrong there :smile:

Glad to hear you got things up and running.

Feel free to ask about anything that comes up, and will be more than happy to help if we can!
