SKModel

class SKModel(num_sites, rng_or_seed=None)

Bases: OptimizationApplication

Optimization application of the «Sherrington Kirkpatrick (SK) model» [1].

The SK Hamiltonian over n spins is given as: \(H(x)=-1/\sqrt{n} \sum_{i<j} w_{i,j}x_ix_j\), where \(x_i\in\{\pm 1\}\) is the configuration of spins and \(w_{i,j}\in\{\pm 1\}\) is a disorder chosen independently and uniformly at random. Notice that there are other variants of disorders e.g., with \(w_{i,j}\) chosen from the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

Parámetros:

• num_sites (int) – number of sites

• rng_or_seed (Generator | int | None) – NumPy pseudo-random number generator or seed for np.random.default_rng(<seed>) or None. None results in usage of np.random.default_rng().
