QuantumRandomAccessEncoding

class QuantumRandomAccessEncoding(max_vars_per_qubit=3)

Bases: object

This class specifies a Quantum Random Access Code that can be used to encode the binary variables of a QUBO (quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem).

Parámetros:

max_vars_per_qubit (int) – The maximum number of decision variables per qubit. Integer values 1, 2 and 3 are supported (default to 3).

Attributes

compression_ratio

Compression ratio. Number of decision variables divided by number of qubits

frozen

Whether the object is frozen or not.

max_vars_per_qubit

Maximum number of variables per qubit

minimum_recovery_probability

Minimum recovery probability, as set by max_vars_per_qubit

num_qubits

Number of qubits

num_vars

Number of decision variables

offset

Relaxed Hamiltonian offset

Muestra:

RuntimeError – If the offset has not been set yet. Use the encode method to construct the Hamiltonian, or make sure that the objective function has been set.

problem

The QuadraticProgram encoding a QUBO optimization problem

Muestra:

RuntimeError – If the QuadraticProgram has not been set yet. Use the encode method to set the problem.

q2vars

Each element contains the list of decision variable indices encoded on that qubit

qubit_op

Relaxed Hamiltonian operator.

Muestra:

RuntimeError – If the objective function has not been set yet. Use the encode method to construct the Hamiltonian, or make sure that the objective function has been set.

var2op

Maps each decision variable to (qubit_index, operator)

Methods

encode(problem)

Encodes a given QuadraticProgram as a (n,1,p) Quantum Random Access Code (QRAC) relaxed Hamiltonian. It accomplishes this by mapping each binary decision variable to one qubit of the QRAC. The encoding is designed to ensure that the problem’s objective function commutes with the QRAC encoding.

After the function is called, it sets the following attributes:

• qubit_op: The qubit operator that encodes the input QuadraticProgram.

• offset: The constant value in the encoded Hamiltonian.

• problem: The original QuadraticProgram used for encoding.

Inputs:

problem: A QuadraticProgram encoding a QUBO optimization problem

Muestra:

• QiskitOptimizationError – If this method is called more than once on the same object.

• QiskitOptimizationError – If the problem contains non-binary variables.

• QiskitOptimizationError – If the problem contains constraints.

freeze()

Freeze the object to prevent further modification.

Once an instance of this class is frozen, encode can no longer be called.

state_preparation_circuit(x)

Generate a circuit that prepares the state corresponding to the given binary string.

Parámetros:

x (list[int]) – A list of binary values to be encoded into the state.

Devuelve:

A QuantumCircuit that prepares the state corresponding to the given binary string.

Tipo del valor devuelto:
