EVOVAQ

EVOlutionary algorithms-based toolbox for VAriational Quantum circuits (EVOVAQ) is a novel evolutionary framework designed to easily train variational quantum circuits through evolutionary techniques, and to have a simple interface between these algorithms and quantum libraries, such as Qiskit.

Optimizers in EVOVAQ:

• Genetic Algorithm

• Differential Evolution

• Memetic Algorithm

• Big Bang Big Crunch

• Particle Swarm Optimization

• CHC Algorithm

• Hill Climbing

Installation

You can install EVOVAQ via pip:

pip install evovaq

Pip will handle all dependencies automatically and you will always install the latest version.
