Giallar

Artifact for the Paper Giallar: Push-button Verification for the Qiskit Quantum Compiler

Building the software

Requirements

Giallar requires python>=3.8 Qiskit=0.31.0 (https://qiskit.org/documentation/), Z3>=4.8.12 networkx>=2.7.1 and astroid>=2.4.1, which can be installed by

pip install -Iv z3-solver==4.8.12 qiskit==0.31.0 astroid scipy numpy networkx

Installation

To install Giallar, run

pip install .

Running the verification (Table 2)

Enter the directory

cd giallar

To verify all passes, run

python verify_pass.py all

Notes

• The running time depends on hardware and the randomness of Z3 solver, but will typically be in 10 minutes.
• The number of subgoals/running time may be different from the data in the paper, but the does not affect the conclusion.
• To verify a specific pass, run python verify_pass.py <passname>

Running the benchmark (Figure 11)

Enter the directory

cd tests

To run benchmarks, run

python batch_run.py --category=[small|medium|large]

the benchmarks is splitted into 3 categories small, medium and large.

After running, find statistics at [small|medium|large]_summary.csv. The running time depends on hardware, but will typically be in 10 minutes.
