class VQEUCCSDFactory(quantum_instance, optimizer=None, initial_point=None, gradient=None, expectation=None, include_custom=False, method_singles='both', method_doubles='ucc', excitation_type='sd', same_spin_doubles=True)

A factory to construct a VQE minimum eigensolver with UCCSD ansatz wavefunction.

Parâmetros

• quantum_instance (QuantumInstance) – The quantum instance used in the minimum eigensolver.

• optimizer (Optional[Optimizer]) – A classical optimizer.

• initial_point (Optional[ndarray]) – An optional initial point (i.e. initial parameter values) for the optimizer. If None then VQE will look to the variational form for a preferred point and if not will simply compute a random one.

• gradient (Union[GradientBase, Callable, None]) – An optional gradient function or operator for optimizer.

• expectation (Optional[ExpectationBase]) – The Expectation converter for taking the average value of the Observable over the var_form state function. When None (the default) an ExpectationFactory is used to select an appropriate expectation based on the operator and backend. When using Aer qasm_simulator backend, with paulis, it is however much faster to leverage custom Aer function for the computation but, although VQE performs much faster with it, the outcome is ideal, with no shot noise, like using a state vector simulator. If you are just looking for the quickest performance when choosing Aer qasm_simulator and the lack of shot noise is not an issue then set include_custom parameter here to True (defaults to False).

• include_custom (bool) – When expectation parameter here is None setting this to True will allow the factory to include the custom Aer pauli expectation.

• method_singles (str) – specify the single excitation considered. ‘alpha’, ‘beta’, ‘both’ only alpha or beta spin-orbital single excitations or both (all of them).

• method_doubles (str) – specify the single excitation considered. ‘ucc’ (conventional ucc), succ (singlet ucc), succ_full (singlet ucc full), pucc (pair ucc).

• excitation_type (str) – specify the excitation type ‘sd’, ‘s’, ‘d’ respectively for single and double, only single, only double excitations.

• same_spin_doubles (bool) – enable double excitations of the same spin.
