• Check test run pytest "examples/node/tests"
• Define the PORT and ADDRESS in remote_qpu.py
• Start the server python remote_qpu.py

Usage

To use the example provided as a mock remote node (i.e. to validate connectivity, network setup etc) clone the repository and follow the installation procedure on the remote node. Next modify your conf.json to point to the flask server:

{
    "project_name" : "proj_name",     
    "connector" : "NO_LINK",
    "qpu_ip_address" : "http://REPLACE_WITH_ADDRESS",
    "qpu_port" : "REPLACE_WITH_PORT",
    "num_required_qubits" : 4,
    "users" : [
        {
        "user": "user0",
        "weight" : 0.2,
        "computations" : 
            {
            "type0": 0.05,
            "type1": 0.94,
            "type2": 0.01
            }
        },
        {
        "user": "user1",
        "weight" : 0.3,
        "computations" : 
             {
             "type0": 0.10,
             "type1": 0.85,
              "type2": 0.05
             }
        }
