Minimize Expectation Value of a 2-qubit Quantum Observable

This is a commented version of PennyLane beginner level optimization challenge Keeping Expectations Low.

Implementation

The quantum circuit for the computation is composed of a StronglyEntanglingLayers circuitry which would prepare 2-qubit states to be operated on by a Hermitian operator hamiltonian after which measurements would be performed on the output.

The parameters for the StronglyEntanglingLayers would be optimized by a gradient descent optimizer with maximum 100 steps and a precision of 1e-07.

Software Requirements

The following Python packages are required to run this notebook:

  • pennylane

Note: The json module is part of Python's standard library and does not require installation. The pennylane package is included in the top-level requirements.txt. If you have set up the base environment as described in the main README, no additional installation is needed.
