The rough idea of this method is that one defines a trial wave function (sometimes called an *ansatz*) as a function of some parameters, and then one finds the values of these parameters that minimize the expectation value of the energy with respect to these parameters. This minimized ansatz is then an approximation to the lowest energy eigenstate, and the expectation value serves as an upper bound on the energy of the ground state.\n", "\n", "In the last few years (see [arXiv:1304.3061](https://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3061) and [arXiv:1507.08969](https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.08969), for example), it has been realized that quantum computers can mimic the classical technique and that a quantum computer does so with certain advantages. In particular, when one applies the classical variational method to a system of $n$ qubits, an exponential number (in $n$) of complex numbers is necessary to generically represent the wave function of the system. However, with a quantum computer, one can directly produce this state using a parameterized quantum circuit with less than exponential parameters, and then use repeated measurements to estimate the expectation value of the energy.\n", "\n", "This idea has led to a class of algorithms known as variational quantum algorithms. Indeed this approach is not just limited to finding low energy eigenstates, but minimizing any objective function that can be expressed as a quantum observable. It is an open question to identify under what conditions these quantum variational algorithms will succeed, and exploring this class of algorithms is a key part of the research for [noisy intermediate scale quantum computers](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00862).\n", "\n", "The classical problem we will focus on is the 2D +/- Ising model with transverse field ([ISING](http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0305-4470/15/10/028/meta)). This problem is NP-complete. It is highly unlikely that quantum computers will be able to efficiently solve it across all instances because it is generally believed that quantum computers cannot solve all NP-complete problems in polynomial time.

Here each index i is associated with a bit on a square lattice, and the $\\langle i,j \\rangle$ notation means sums over neighboring bits on this lattice. The problem we would like to solve is, given $J_{i,j}$, and $h_i$, find an assignment of $s_i$ values that minimize $E$.\n", "\n", "How does a variational quantum algorithm work for this?

A *run* only allows for a simulation that mimics the actual quantum hardware. For example, it does not allow for access to the amplitudes of the wave function of the system, since that is not experimentally accessible. *Simulate* commands, however, are broader and allow different forms of simulation. When prototyping small circuits, it is useful to execute *simulate* methods, but one should be wary of relying on them when running against actual hardware." ] }, { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": 11, "metadata": { "execution": { "iopub.execute_input": "2024-07-19T09:24:05.568910Z", "iopub.status.busy": "2024-07-19T09:24:05.568349Z", "iopub.status.idle": "2024-07-19T09:24:05.584852Z", "shell.execute_reply": "2024-07-19T09:24:05.584199Z" }, "id": "PXpn3xvT_5pv" }, "outputs": [ { "name": "stdout", "output_type": "stream", "text": [ "Counter({143: 3, 389: 2, 149: 2, 85: 2, 417: 2, 179: 2, 227: 2, 429: 2, 455: 2, 171: 1, 326: 1, 458: 1, 28: 1, 39: 1, 378: 1, 135: 1, 125: 1, 67: 1, 261: 1, 396: 1, 70: 1, 196: 1, 35: 1, 145: 1, 461: 1, 343: 1, 302: 1, 265: 1, 275: 1, 434: 1, 414: 1, 201: 1, 199: 1, 422: 1, 323: 1, 276: 1, 365: 1, 263: 1, 296: 1, 401: 1, 448: 1, 114: 1, 186: 1, 185: 1, 442: 1, 14: 1, 163: 1, 130: 1, 174: 1, 319: 1, 204: 1, 394: 1, 187: 1, 324: 1, 402: 1, 400: 1, 243: 1, 151: 1, 10: 1, 120: 1, 193: 1, 368: 1, 167: 1, 205: 1, 129: 1, 181: 1, 160: 1, 229: 1, 399: 1, 230: 1, 281: 1, 209: 1, 416: 1, 90: 1, 299: 1, 184: 1, 501: 1, 452: 1, 25: 1, 136: 1, 197: 1, 19: 1, 55: 1, 29: 1, 213: 1, 463: 1, 375: 1, 398: 1, 510: 1, 290: 1})\n" ] } ], "source": [ "simulator = cirq.Simulator()\n", "circuit = cirq.Circuit()\n", "circuit.append(initial_step(len(h)))\n", "circuit.append(one_step(h, jr, jc, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3))\n", "circuit.append(cirq.measure(*qubits, key='x'))\n", "results = simulator.run(circuit, repetitions=100)\n", "print(results.histogram(key='x'))" ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "metadata": { "id": "DEIjXRgt_5px" }, "source": [ "Note that we have run the simulation 100 times and produced a histogram of the counts of the measurement results.
