Client configuration

Quantum Serverless has a client-server architecture, which means that in order to interact with computational resources, you need to have the client library installed on your machine and configured to communicate with the provider.

To install the client library, run:

pip install quantum_serverless

Next, we need to configure the client to communicate with the provider. This can be done through the BaseProvider configuration.

Before we can configure the client and provider, we need to know two things: the username/password (authentication details) and the host of our gateway server.

If you are using the local docker compose setup, your username and password would be user and password123, respectively, and the host would be http://gateway:8000.

If you are using a cloud deployment, your cloud administrator will provide you with the details of the host and authentication.

Once you have all the necessary information, you can start configuring the client:

from quantum_serverless import QuantumServerless, ServerlessProvider

provider = ServerlessProvider(
        username="<USERNAME>",
        password="<PASSWORD>",
        host="<HOST>",
)

client = QuantumServerless(provider)

With this configuration in place, you can run your programs against the provider.
