This repo contains a prototype of a qiskit-ibm-runtime Rust implementation with a C interface. The goal here is not to be a fully fledged rust client that mirrors the Python component but instead to provide a Rust library that exposes a C API for users of the Qiskit C API to submit QuantumCircuit built from C for execution and retrieve primitive results. The goal here is to use Rust to build a safe API client for job submission and results processing for IBM's primitives but expose that to C.
Warning
This library is an early prototype and is still under active development. There are currently no backwards compatibility guarantees as the library is developed. This library also only supports a single Qiskit version at a time, currently only 2.2.0 is supported.
Compilation requires the following tools:
- git
- rustc
- cargo
- gcc
- cbindgen
- make
- cmake
To build all tests, you can run the following command in qiskit-ibm-runtime-rs root,
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
There are several interactive commandline sample programs you can run in /samples.
These are built automatically to the root of the build folder.
To run all tests, you can run the following command from within the build tree,
ctest
