GEOPE

GEOPE (Geodesic Pulse Engineering) is a Python library for quantum gate synthesis using Lie algebraic and geodesic optimisation methods built on JAX.

Installation

Install the latest release from PyPI (Python 3.11+):

pip install geope

From source (development)

git clone https://github.com/dyylan/geope.git
