Testing the Installation

Let’s run a simple test to ensure everything works:

from qcmet import T1
from qcmet.devices import IdealSimulator

# Create a simple T1 benchmark
simulator = IdealSimulator()
t1 = T1()

# Generate circuits
t1.generate_circuits()
print(f"Generated {len(t1.circuits)} circuits")
print("QCMet is working correctly!")

Generated 10 circuits
QCMet is working correctly!
