MNIST Notebook is slow #142

Closed MichaelBroughton closed 4 years ago

MichaelBroughton commented 4 years ago

We are running a LOT of quantum circuits in the MNIST tutorial. Maybe we should find a way to trim it down a little bit ? so CI can run faster. Right now it takes as much as 30+ mins on all the notebooks.

Is it possible to reproduce this tutorial on actual quantum hardware? My guess is that despite of a numerous number of, it might be caused by using simulator.

btw, I really enjoyed this tutorial.

It's possible that if we had a big(ger) quantum computer the differences between the quantum computer and the classical computer could get smaller and it would do better.

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial :).

We dialed back the runtime of this notebook on CI with: #155 so we can close this now.
