Machine learning and optimization of quantum optical circuits

Project description

Travis Codecov coverage Codacy grade Read the Docs PyPI - Python Version

The Quantum Machine Learning Toolbox (QMLT) is a Strawberry Fields application that simplifies the optimization of variational quantum circuits. Tasks for the QMLT range from variational eigensolvers and unitary learning to supervised and unsupervised machine learning with models based on a variational circuit.

Features

The Quantum Machine Learning Toolbox supports:

  • The training of user-provided variational circuits

  • Automatic and numerical differentiation methods to compute gradients of circuit outputs

  • Optimization, supervised and unsupervised learning tasks

  • Regularization of circuit parameters

  • Logging of training results

  • Monitoring and visualization of training through matplotlib and TensorBoard

  • Saving and restoring trained models

  • Parallel computation/GPU usage for TensorFlow-based models

To get started, please see the online documentation.

Installation

Installation of SFOpenBoson, as well as all required Python packages mentioned above, can be done using pip:

$ python -m pip install qmlt
