Developer Guide

This page describes basic development workflows for QCANT.

Local development

QCANT has required runtime dependencies (NumPy/SciPy/PennyLane/PySCF). For the most reliable setup, use the conda environment file and then do an editable install without pulling deps from pip:

conda env create -f devtools/conda-envs/qcant.yaml
conda activate qcant
pip install -e . --no-deps

Running tests

QCANT uses pytest.

python -m pytest

Building documentation

The documentation is built with Sphinx.

From the docs directory:

make html

The generated site will be under docs/_build/html.
