I am trying to simulate quantum teleportation on ProjectQ using simulaqron (enabling me to use quantum internet for teleportation) however I am not sure if my approach is right. In the working paper of simulaqron its written that programming via another backend like ProjectQ is very much possible. However when I am testing quantum teleporation I am not getting any output

[Alice's code] followed by [Bob's code]

  from projectq.ops import All, CNOT, H, Measure, Rz, X, Z
    from projectq import MainEngine
    from projectq.meta import Dagger, Control
    from cqc.pythonLib import CQCConnection, qubit
    import simulaqron

def main():

    with CQCConnection("Alice") as Alice:
        eng = MainEngine()
        c1, c2 = create_bell_pair(eng)
        tel1 = eng.allocate_qubit()
        Alice.sendQubit((c1, "Bob"))
        H | tel1
        CNOT | (tel1, c2)
        H | tel1
        Measure | tel1
        Measure | c2
        to_print = "App {}: Measurement outcomes are: a={}, b={}".format(Alice.name, int(tel1), int(c2))
        print("|" + "-" * (len(to_print) + 2) + "|")
        print("| " + to_print + " |")
        print("|" + "-" * (len(to_print) + 2) + "|")

        # Send corrections to Bob
        Alice.sendClassical("Bob", int(tel1), int(c2))


def create_bell_pair(eng):
    b1 = eng.allocate_qubit()
    b2 = eng.allocate_qubit()

    H | b1
    CNOT | (b1, b2)

    return b1, b2

main()    

// new file for bob

Be sure you have executed the command "simulaqron set backend projectq" in your shell, in order to set the projectq backend.

Moreover, in your Bob's code there is a reference to c1 which is undefined, in:

qB=Bob.recvQubit(c1, "Alice")

  • $\begingroup$ Hi @Oldville ! Thank you so much for the help. I have already done that ( simulaqron set backend projectq ), yet I am not getting any output. Is the wrong syntax of recvQubit causing this? if so what is the right syntax? $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 23, 2019 at 5:48
