Emulation Server - Docker Compose

The Docker compose script (docker/docker-compose.yaml) runs a backend emulation server. Once initialized, users can run jobs on the cloud server to emulate any quantum program, expressed as an AnalogCircuit, DigitalCircuit, or AtomicCircuit, on the supported the backend emulators. Currently, the Analog layer QutipBackend is supported.

The server uses Redis to queue submitted jobs and a PostgreSQL database for storing and retrieving users and jobs.

To initialize the server, install Docker following the installation instructions. Then, it should be as simple as navigating to the docker/ path,

cd /docker/

and running,

docker compose up

If all services are initialized and correctly, the outputs should be displayed in the terminal. To run in the background, use the --detach or -d flag:

docker compose up -d
