In-Request Execution for Rigetti (pyQuil)

[GeorgDaniel]

Problem Statement

Depends on: #1 #10

As a user, I want to use the pyQuil Framework. pyQuil needs a QVM, which need to be run somewhere.

Expected Behavior

The pyQuil code (Quil specific definition) or QASM is submitted In-Request and the Rigetti Pilot should be able to execute it on a QVM.

Tasks

• [ ] Research and discuss how pyQuil works and differs from existing frameworks
• [ ] Implement a Rigetti Pilot for transpile/executing in-request circuits
• [x] Build an Environment (Container) which contains the QVM
• [ ] Implement test-cases
• [ ] Document the usage and the implementation details
• [ ] Depending on the refactoring, the Rigetti Pilot should be optional because it needs the QVM
• [ ] Update the architecture pictures and docu

Notes

As the environment is different from just using the SDK calls, a architecture sketch with the communication and the components could be useful.

In pending until issues with higher prio have been resolved

[st161630]

Rigetti is only implemented in a very experimental stage - Needs further Clarification to determine further actions regarding the Pilot.

[st161630]

Rigetti Pilot has been surrounded by Experimental Environment variables. Need to be specifically activated.
