Features

Execute photonic quantum algorithms directly on Xanadu's next-generation quantum hardware.
High-level functions for solving practical problems including graph and network optimization, machine learning, and chemistry.
Includes a suite of world-class simulators—based on cutting-edge algorithms—to compile and simulate photonic algorithms.
Train and optimize your quantum programs with our end-to-end differentiable TensorFlow backend.

Installation

Strawberry Fields requires Python version 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10. Installation of Strawberry Fields, as well as all dependencies, can be done using pip:

pip install strawberryfields
