SymQNet Molecular Optimization via Hamiltonian Estimation

SymQNet-MolOpt: Hamiltonian Parameter Estimation

SymQNet-MolOpt provides efficient, uncertainty-aware estimation of Hamiltonian parameters for 1D and 2D molecular models and ultimately much more efficient molecular optimization. It is designed for sample-efficient optimization and reports confidence intervals for each parameter.

Installation

pip install SymQNet-MolOpt

Usage

Core Command

SymQNet-MolOpt --hamiltonian input.json --output results.json

Arguments:

• --hamiltonian: Path to a JSON Hamiltonian (OpenFermion-like format).
• --output: File to save results (JSON).
• --shots: Number of measurement shots (default auto-scales).
• --n-rollouts: Number of independent rollouts (default: 5).
• --max-steps: Max optimization steps per rollout (default: 50).

Examples

Water Molecule (H₂O, 10 qubits)

SymQNet-MolOpt --hamiltonian examples/H2O_10q.json --output h2o_results.json --shots 1024 --n-rollouts 5 --max-steps 50

Ising Chain (12 qubits)

SymQNet-MolOpt --hamiltonian examples/ising_12q.json --output ising_results.json --shots 1024

(You need to create your own JSON Hamiltonian.)
