fast-EVOlutionary algorithms toolbox for VAriational Quantum circuits

fast-EVOVAQ

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

Optimizers in f-EVOVAQ:

• Genetic Algorithm

• Differential Evolution

• Memetic Algorithm

• Big Bang Big Crunch

• Particle Swarm Optimization

• CHC Algorithm

• Hill Climbing (to be integrated in Memetic Algorithms)

Installation

You can install f-EVOVAQ via pip:

pip install f-evovaq

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