class QuantumGenerator(bounds, num_qubits, generator_circuit=None, init_params=None, optimizer=None, gradient_function=None, snapshot_dir=None)

Quantum Generator.

The quantum generator is a parametrized quantum circuit which can be trained with the QGAN algorithm to generate a quantum state which approximates the probability distribution of given training data. At the beginning of the training the parameters will be set randomly, thus, the output will is random. Throughout the training the quantum generator learns to represent the target distribution. Eventually, the trained generator can be used for state preparation e.g. in QAE.

Parâmetros

• bounds (ndarray) – k min/max data values [[min_1,max_1],…,[min_k,max_k]], given input data dim k

• num_qubits (Union[List[int], ndarray]) – k numbers of qubits to determine representation resolution, i.e. n qubits enable the representation of 2**n values [n_1,…, n_k]

• generator_circuit (Union[UnivariateVariationalDistribution, MultivariateVariationalDistribution, QuantumCircuit, None]) – a UnivariateVariationalDistribution for univariate data, a MultivariateVariationalDistribution for multivariate data, or a QuantumCircuit implementing the generator.

• init_params (Union[List[float], ndarray, None]) – 1D numpy array or list, Initialization for the generator’s parameters.

• optimizer (Optional[Optimizer]) – optimizer to be used for the training of the generator

• gradient_function (Union[Callable, Gradient, None]) – A Gradient object, or a function returning partial derivatives of the loss function w.r.t. the generator variational params.

• snapshot_dir (Optional[str]) – str or None, if not None save the optimizer’s parameter after every update step to the given directory

get_output(quantum_instance, params=None, shots=None)

Get classical data samples from the generator. Running the quantum generator circuit results in a quantum state. To train this generator with a classical discriminator, we need to sample classical outputs by measuring the quantum state and mapping them to feature space defined by the training data.

Parâmetros

• quantum_instance (QuantumInstance) – Quantum Instance, used to run the generator circuit.

• params (numpy.ndarray) – array or None, parameters which should be used to run the generator, if None use self._params

• shots (int) – if not None use a number of shots that is different from the number set in quantum_instance

Retorna

Tipo de retorno

list
