QuantumMPS

To make life easier, here is a simplified notebook version of qubit saving scheme for VQE.

Matrix product state (MPS) inspired quantum circuits ansatz for variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Physical Hamiltonian includes: 1D and 2D Heisenberg model, with or without frustration, OBC or PBC. Circuit Block includes: General, U(1) and SU(2) symmetric ansatz.

Set up your julia environment

julia 1.0+
install required julia libraries: Yao, DelimitedFiles, FileIO, Fire, JLD2, KrylovKit and StatsBase. To access GPU, you need the extra packages: CUDAnative, CuArrays and CuYao. They can be resolved by typing

$ julia resolve_env.jl # if a GPU is available
$ julia resolve_env.jl nocuda

Run an Example

As an example, we solve the ground state of frustrated Heisenberg model with J2 = 0.5 on 4 x 4 lattice. to run

$ julia j1j2.jl train --symmetry su2 --depth 1

Here, symmetry and depth are optional parameters to specify symmetry of ansatz and depth of circuit block. The default symmetry is su2 and the default circuit depth is 5. The above training with default setting can be very very slow. With Nvidia Titan V GPU, training can be accelerated by a factor of ~35 comparing with the sequential CPU version, but still takes several hours. Decreasing the circuit depth can also accelerate the training.

You can meaure the correlation function and energy per site using pre-trained model stored in data/

$ julia j1j2.jl measure szsz --depth 1         # Sz(i)*Sz(j) correlation matrix, default depth is 5.
$ julia j1j2.jl measure energy --symmetry su2   # sample energy expectation value

To get help on input parameters, please type

$ julia j1j2.jl train --help
$ julia j1j2.jl measure --help
