masKIT: Ensemble-based gate dropouts for quantum circuits

MasKIT is a framework that provides masking functionality in the context of parameterized quantum circuits (PQC) for PennyLane. It targets scientists and simplifies researching trainability and expressivity of circuits by enabling to dynamically mask gates within the circuit. The framework is designed to act as a drop-in replacement and therefore allows to enhance your existing PennyLane projects with low effort.

The masking is supported on different axes, i.e. layers, wires, parameters, and entangling gates, for different modes, i.e. adding, removing, inverting.

The current version is still in a development stage and therefore does not cover the whole functionality one might imagine for masking PQCs. Please feel invited to submit your contributions and ideas.

Installation

The framework can be installed via pypi:

python -m pip install maskit
