Strangeworks QAOA SDK Extension

The strangeworks-qaoa package allows users to construct and solve problems with the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) on multiple hardware providers through the Strangeworks Platform.

The package implements StrangeworksQAOA, an enhanced version of QAOA that tracks and reports the best individual bitstring solution found throughout the optimization process, rather than only using the average cost over all measurements.

Installation

pip install -U pip strangeworks-qaoa

Requirements

• Python version (see badge above)
• A Strangeworks account and API key (Get started)
• Quantum Resources enabled in your workspace

Quick Start

import strangeworks as sw
from strangeworks_qaoa.sdk import StrangeworksQAOA
import strangeworks_qaoa.utils as utils

sw.authenticate(api_key)
sw_qaoa = StrangeworksQAOA()

# Create problem
problem = utils.get_nReg_MaxCut_QUBO(3, 4, 0)

# Define parameters
problem_params = {
    "nqubits": 4,
    "maxiter": 50,
    "shotsin": 1000,
}

# Run job
sw_job = sw_qaoa.run("SV1", problem, problem_params)
result = sw_qaoa.get_results(sw_job)
