SQUID: Hybrid Quantum-Classical ML package

SQUID

Scaled QUantum IDentifer (SQUID) is a package that allows for seamless integration of quantum models into classical ones.

Introduction

SQUID builds on top of PyTorch to integrate Quantum Machine Learning (QML) models into its classical framework. The main goal of the project is to reduce amount of code needed to train QML algorithms on classical data. However, some useful side-effects include:

• Load arbitrarily sized data, since encoder in front of quantum model can scale it down for use in near-term quantum devices
• Ability to easily compare performance of classical and quantum algorithms (By changing middle model of MainModel). This is especially useful in case of quantum-inspired classical algorithms.
• Easily evaluate impact of different encodings
