Application Library Framework (ALF)

This is the python framework for developing apps for the QCI Connect platform of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It is a component of the QCI Connect SDK.

It contains classes to streamline implementing quantum algorithms, error mitigation schemes, and circuit building strategies for QCI Connect and to unify problems and results for cross-compatibility of applications.

Documentation

You can find the documentations here.

The documentation files are also included in the source and can be built with the script dev_tools/build_docs.

Quick Start (Pip Installation)

• Run pip install qciconnect-alf
• Take a look at the tutorial notebooks

Working on Source Code (Dev Mode)

Clone the repository (or download the .tar.gz file), initialize the git submodules, then install dependencies.

We recommend using ultraviolet (installation guide).

git submodule update --init
uv sync

You can now activate the .venv in the source directory or use uv to run commands in the .venv, e. g., uv run python my_script.py.
