MQT Quantum Auto Optimizer: Automatic Framework for Solving Optimization Problems with Quantum Computers

MQT Quantum Auto Optimizer: Automatic Framework for Solving Optimization Problems with Quantum Computers

MQT Quantum Auto Optimizer is a framework that allows one to automatically translate an optimization problem into a quantum-compliant formulation and to solve it with one of the main quantum solvers (Quantum Annealer, Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, Variational Quantum Eigensolver and Grover Adaptive Search)

MQT Quantum Auto Optimizer is part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) developed by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich. This framework has been developed in collaboration with the VLSI Lab of Politecnico di Torino.

Getting Started

mqt-qao is available via PyPI.

(venv) $ pip install mqt.qao

The following code gives an example on the usage:

from mqt.qao import Constraints, ObjectiveFunction, Problem, Solver, Variables

# Declaration of the problem variables
var = Variables()
a = var.add_binary_variable("a")
b = var.add_discrete_variable("b", [-1, 1, 3])
c = var.add_continuous_variable("c", -2, 2, 0.25)

# declaration of the objective functions involved in the problem
obj_func = ObjectiveFunction()
obj_func.add_objective_function(a + b * c + c**2)

# Declaration of the constraints
cst = Constraints()
cst.add_constraint("b + c >= 2", variable_precision=True)

# Creation of the problem
prb = Problem()
prb.create_problem(var, cst, obj_func)

# Solve the problem with the Dwave Quantum Annealer
solution = Solver().solve_Dwave_quantum_annealer(prb, token=token)

Detailed documentation and examples are available at ReadTheDocs.
