db-qite 0.0.4

Implements Double-Bracket Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution (DB-QITE) in Qiskit

Double-Bracket Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution (DB-QITE)

Implementation of DB-QITE (by Gluza et al)

Installation

pip install db-qite

Usage

To create a QuantumCircuit

from db_qite import DB_QITE

dbq = DB_QITE(
    hamiltonian = H,         # hamiltonian: `SparsePauliOp`
    initial_state = None,    # initial_state array-like, default None
    time_step = s,           # time step. list or a single value
)

circuit = dbq.create_circuit(
    num_steps,               # #iterations
    random_u0,               # boolean. U0 is random or not
)

Run for a range of iterations with plots

from db_qite import db_qite_range

runner, results = db_qite_range(
    hamiltonian=H,
    initial_state=None, # or initial state
    time_step=.5,       # or a list
    random_u0=True,     # or False
    num_steps_range=range(1, 6),
    backend="simulator", #  or None to detect a qiskit backend
    estimate_energy=True, # wether to estimate energy or just prepare the state
    shots=1024
)

Note: if you provide None, or a qiskit backend name or object, it will run on IBM quantum machines. You have to set IBM_QUANTUM_TOKEN environment variable for it
