The Quantum Machine Learning Toolbox (QMLT) is a Strawberry Fields <https://github.com/XanaduAI/strawberryfields>_ application that simplifies the optimization of variational quantum circuits. Tasks for the QMLT range from variational eigensolvers and unitary learning to supervised and unsupervised machine learning with models based on a variational circuit.
The Quantum Machine Learning Toolbox supports:
The training of user-provided variational circuits
Automatic and numerical differentiation methods to compute gradients of circuit outputs
Optimization, supervised and unsupervised learning tasks
Regularization of circuit parameters
Logging of training results
Monitoring and visualization of training through matplotlib and TensorBoard
Saving and restoring trained models
Parallel computation/GPU usage for TensorFlow-based models
To get started, please see the online documentation <https://qmlt.readthedocs.io>_.
Installation of the QMLT, as well as all required Python packages mentioned above, can be done using pip: ::
$ python -m pip install qmltTo run all tests please run the following line from the main directory: ::
$ python -m unittest discover testsMaria Schuld and Josh Izaac.
