perceptrain 0.0.3

Pasqal interface for circuit-based quantum computing SDKs

Perceptrain is a Python package that provides a simple interface to execute distributed machine learning training. It supports customization, gradient-based, gradient-free optimizations and various experiment tracking methods.

**For more detailed information, check out the documentation.

**For any questions or comments, feel free to start a discussion. **

Feature highlights

• Training models made simple with Trainer and Train Configurations.

• Support for gradient based and gradient free optimization.

• Accelerator supported distributed training made simple across multi node/multi gpu setups.

• Extensive callbacks, along with support for mlflow and tensorboard tracking.

Installation guide

perceptrain is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip as follows:

pip install perceptrain

The default, pre-installed backend for perceptrain is PyQTorch, a differentiable state vector simulator. It is possible to install additional following extras:

• mlflow: Foe experiment tracking.

To install individual extras, use the following syntax (IMPORTANT Make sure to use quotes):

pip install "perceptrain[mlflow]"

To install all available extras, simply do:

pip install "perceptrain[all]"

Setting up perceptrain in development mode

We recommend to use the hatch environment manager to install perceptrain from source:

python -m pip install hatch

# get into a shell with all the dependencies
python -m hatch shell

# run a command within the virtual environment with all the dependencies
python -m hatch run python my_script.py

WARNING hatch will not combine nicely with other environment managers such as Conda. If you still want to use Conda, install it from source using pip:

# within the Conda environment
python -m pip install -e .

Users also report problems running Hatch on Windows, we suggest using WSL2.
