MatchCake

Description

MatchCake is a Python package that provides a new PennyLane device for simulating a specific class of quantum circuits called Matchgate circuits or matchcircuits. These circuits are made with matchgates, a class of restricted quantum unitaries that are parity-preserving and operate on nearest-neighbor qubits. These constraints lead to matchgates being classically simulable in polynomial time.

Additionally, this package provides quantum kernels made with scikit-learn API allowing the use matchcircuits as kernels in quantum machine learning algorithms. One way to use these kernels could be in a Support Vector Machine (SVM). In the benchmark/classification folder, you can find some scripts that use SVM with matchcircuits as a kernel to classify the Iris dataset, the Breast Cancer dataset, and the Digits dataset in polynomial time with high accuracy.

Quantum Circuit Simulation with MatchCake

import matchcake as mc
import pennylane as qml
import numpy as np
from pennylane.ops.qubit.observables import BasisStateProjector

# Create a Non-Interacting Fermionic Device
nif_device = mc.NonInteractingFermionicDevice(wires=4)
initial_state = np.zeros(len(nif_device.wires), dtype=int)

# Define a quantum circuit
def circuit(params, wires, initial_state=None):
    qml.BasisState(initial_state, wires=wires)
    for i, even_wire in enumerate(wires[:-1:2]):
        idx = list(wires).index(even_wire)
        curr_wires = [wires[idx], wires[idx + 1]]
        mc.operations.fRXX(params, wires=curr_wires)
        mc.operations.fRYY(params, wires=curr_wires)
        mc.operations.fRZZ(params, wires=curr_wires)
    for i, odd_wire in enumerate(wires[1:-1:2]):
        idx = list(wires).index(odd_wire)
        mc.operations.fSWAP(wires=[wires[idx], wires[idx + 1]])
    projector: BasisStateProjector = qml.Projector(initial_state, wires=wires)
    return qml.expval(projector)

# Create a QNode
nif_qnode = qml.QNode(circuit, nif_device)
qml.draw_mpl(nif_qnode)(np.array([0.1, 0.2]), wires=nif_device.wires, initial_state=initial_state)

# Evaluate the QNode
expval = nif_qnode(np.random.random(2), wires=nif_device.wires, initial_state=initial_state)

Data Classification with MatchCake

from matchcake.ml.kernels import FermionicPQCKernel
from matchcake.ml.svm import FixedSizeSVC
from matchcake.ml.visualisation import ClassificationVisualizer
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler

# Load the iris dataset
X, y = datasets.load_iris(return_X_y=True)
X = MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1)).fit_transform(X)
x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)

# Create and fit the model
model = FixedSizeSVC(kernel_cls=FermionicPQCKernel, kernel_kwargs=dict(size=4), random_state=0)
model.fit(x_train, y_train)

# Evaluate the model
test_accuracy = model.score(x_test, y_test)
print(f"Test accuracy: {test_accuracy * 100:.2f}%")

# Visualize the classification
viz = ClassificationVisualizer(x=X, n_pts=1_000)
viz.plot_2d_decision_boundaries(model=model, y=y, show=True)

Notes

• This package is still in development and some features may not be available yet.
• The documentation is still in development and may not be complete yet.
• The package works only with the forked version of PennyLane available here. In the future, the package will be compatible with the official version of PennyLane.
