LazyQML API Overview

Welcome to LazyQML – your quantum machine learning playground! LazyQML is a cutting-edge Python library designed to simplify the integration of quantum classifiers into your machine learning workflows. With LazyQML, you'll be able to explore quantum neural networks, quantum support vector machines, and other quantum models, all while maintaining a simple and easy to use code.

At the heart of LazyQML is the QuantumClassifier – the Swiss Army knife of quantum machine learning. This easy-to-use class empowers you to train, evaluate, and fine-tune quantum classifiers on your data, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned quantum enthusiast.

Key Features

LazyQML is packed with tools to streamline quantum classification. Below are the core features that set it apart from the crowd:

1. QuantumClassifier: The Heart of LazyQML

The QuantumClassifier class is the core of LazyQML, offering a variety of methods for training and evaluating quantum models. It provides an elegant and flexible interface for working with quantum circuits, allowing you to explore different types of classifiers, embeddings, and ansatz circuits. The goal? To make quantum classification as intuitive as possible.

2. Variants of QuantumClassifier

LazyQML provides two exciting variants of the QuantumClassifier, depending on which module you import. This gives you the freedom to choose the right quantum simulation backend for your specific needs:

  • State Vector Simulation (imported from lazyqml.st): This variant simulates the full quantum state of your system, perfect for smaller systems or when you want a more intuitive understanding of quantum behavior.

  • Tensor Networks (imported from lazyqml.tn): This variant uses tensor networks, providing higher scalability for larger quantum systems. It's optimized for more complex and larger datasets, helping you tackle big problems with ease.

Importing State Vector Simulation Variant:

1
from lazyqml.st import *
  • Use this import to access the QuantumClassifier based on State Vector simulations, simulating the full quantum state for an intuitive understanding.

Importing Tensor Network Variant:

1
from lazyqml.tn import *
- Use this import to access the QuantumClassifier based on Tensor Networks, offering efficient simulation of larger quantum systems using approximate methods.

3. Training and Evaluation Methods

LazyQML offers you three robust methods to train and evaluate your quantum models. These methods are designed to give you complete control over the classification process:

fit

The fit method is where the magic happens. 🌟 It trains your quantum model on your dataset, selecting from different quantum classifiers, embeddings, and ansatz circuits. This method provides a simple interface to quickly train a model, view its results, and get on with your quantum journey.

  • When to use it? Use fit when you want to quickly train and evaluate a quantum model with just a few lines of code.

leave_one_out

Leave-One-Out Cross Validation (LOO CV) is a robust technique where each data point is used as the test set exactly once. This method is fantastic for small datasets, providing a deeper understanding of your model’s performance.

  • When to use it? Choose leave_one_out when working with small datasets and you need to evaluate every data point for a thorough assessment.

repeated_cross_validation

This method performs repeated k-fold cross-validation. It divides your dataset into k subsets, trains the model on k-1 subsets, and tests on the remaining fold. This process is repeated multiple times to provide a more accurate estimate of your model's performance.

  • When to use it? Use repeated_cross_validation for a more comprehensive evaluation of your model, especially when working with larger datasets.

4. Enums for Quantum Model Selection

LazyQML gives you full control over your quantum model's architecture. With a rich set of enums, you can easily select the correct ansatz circuits, embedding strategies, and classification models. 🎯

Ansatzs Enum

Ansatz circuits define the structure of your quantum model. LazyQML provides a selection of ansatz types:

  • ALL: All available ansatz circuits.
  • HCZRX, TREE_TENSOR, TWO_LOCAL, HARDWARE_EFFICIENT: Popular ansatz circuits that are ideal for quantum machine learning.

Embedding Enum

Embeddings control how your classical data is encoded onto quantum states. LazyQML offers several types of embedding strategies:

  • ALL: All available embedding circuits.
  • RX, RY, RZ: Common qubit rotation embeddings.
  • ZZ, AMP: Embedding strategies based on entanglement or amplitude encoding.

Model Enum

LazyQML supports a variety of quantum models, each suited for different tasks. Choose the model that best fits your data and problem:

  • ALL: All available quantum models.
  • QNN: Quantum Neural Network.
  • QNN_BAG: Quantum Neural Network with Bagging.
  • QSVM: Quantum Support Vector Machine.
  • QKNN: Quantum k-Nearest Neighbors.
