Qiskit compatibility with Parameters
nbronn opened this issue ยท 15 comments
Description
The Parameter
and ParameterExpression
classes in Qiskit allow for the construction and manipulation of circuits with symbolic expressions, which can be bound to numeric values later, allowing flexibility across many Qiskit modules. This is especially useful in (classical) computationally intensive steps where the same procedure would need to be repeated for each value of the parameter. However, many Qiskit modules have limited Parameter
support, which limits their flexibility, and this can be improved by appropriate type-checking and parsing (see Qiskit Terra PR 6899 for an example).

Type of participant
Participants should be interested in parsing and symbolic manipulation and be familiar with packages such as LaTeX and Sympy, and ideally interested in learning about the various Qiskit modules.
Number of participants

Deliverable
Improved support for Parameter
s and ParameterExpression
s across Qiskit, including standardized type-checking and parsing routines.
@peachnuts @brandhsn @kjwcoo @msciwoj1 Can you please comment in the issue so that I can assign you?
@HuangJunye We are actually assigned to issue #18 I will comment there :-)
Please ignore my previous comment. You are assigned to project 18.
@rafal-pracht, @jsistos Can you please comment in the issue so that I can assign you?
Ok :)
Hello!
Can you please upload your presentation here by the end of today? Thank you! @rafal-pracht @jsistos
@HuangJunye Is the presentation needed? We planed to show the notebooks.
@rafal-pracht I think it would be good to have slides to explain the project. If you can make them before the presentation that would be great. Otherwise, can you upload the notebooks here?
@HuangJunye I've been working on the slides for the last couple of hours and I will upload it soon.
Here you go! I'm looking forward to the checkpoint :)
Thank you for the updates! @rafal-pracht @jsistos Could you please add your visuals as well?
Our slides for the final showcase!
