qat.opt.mixing_factory.IndependentAQO

class qat.opt.mixing_factory.IndependentAQO(start_ham, end_ham, tmax, true_psi_0)

An implementation of an InitialStateBuilder that prepends a problem independent adiabatic quantum optimization to the current AQO in order to prepare the correct initial state.

Parameters:

  • start_ham (Observable) – the mixing Hamiltonian of the AQO

  • end_ham (Observable) – the target Hamiltonian of the AQO

  • tmax (float/expression) – the AQO time (or a variable/expression)

  • true_psi_0 (str/numpy.ndarray) – the initial state of the initial AQO

inject_initial_state(aqo_job)

Modifies in place an AQO job in order to prepare a particular initial state.

Parameters:

aqo_job (qat.core.Job) – the job to modify
