# eqc_models.base

This subpackage contains the building blocks for formulating and solving models with EQC devices. Many well known models in the space of quantum computing use quadratic operators. Two generally accepted formats for quadratic models are Ising Hamiltonian and QUBO operators. Ising models are not explicitly supported because of the simple equivalence to QUBO models. Converters from Ising to QUBO are readily available and may be added as a utility function in the future, but for now are left out of the package. Other quadratic models, such as integer or floating point models are supported using the domain and upper bound of the model variables and the solver choice.

Polynomial models are used to support higher order interactions between variables. These models are defined over non-negative variables with the highest power interaction being the only restriction on variable interactions. This is also known as all-to-all connectivity.

## Subpackages

  property H: Tuple[ndarray, ndarray]

class eqc_models.base.InequalitiesMixin

  Bases: `object`

  This mixin enables inequality constraints by automatically generating slack variables for each inequality

  This mixin adds a senses attribute which has a value for each constraint. The values are one of ‘EQ’, ‘LE’ or ‘GE’ for equal to, less than or equal to or greater than or equal to. The effect of the value is to control whether a slack is added and what the sign of the slack variable in the constraint is. Negative is used for GE, positive is used for LE and all slack variables get a coefficient magnitude of 1.

  The constraints are modified on demand, so the class members, lhs and rhs remain unmodified.

  property senses: List[str]

    Comparison operator by constraint

  property num_slacks: int

    The number of slack variables. Will match the number of inequality constraints.

    Returns:

  Parameters:

  Q: ndarray
  evaluate(solution: ndarray)

class eqc_models.base.Polynomial(coefficients: List, indices: List)

  Bases: `object`

  Represents an operator and evalute the operator at a point or set of points. The operator must be a polynomial, possibly multivariate, with powers of up to 5, at the time of this version. The representation of a polynomial uses a sparse method with two components per term. A term is described by the coefficient and a tuple of integers which indicate the variable indexes of the term. The coefficients can be any value which fits in 32-bit floating point representation, but the dynamic range of the coefficients should be within the limit of the hardware’s sensitivity for best results. The term index tuple length must be consistent across all terms. If a term does not have a variable index for all positions, such as with a term which is the square of a variable when other terms have third-order powers, then there must be a placeholder of 0 for the unused power. The variable indexes must be in the tuple in ascending order. Here are some examples (suppose the max degree is 4):

  - \(x_1^2\): `(0, 0, 1, 1)`

  - \(x_1 x_2 x_3\): `(0, 1, 2, 3)`

  - \(x_2^2 x_3^2\): `(2, 2, 3, 3)`

  while it does not affect the optimiztion, a constant term can be applied to the polynomial by using an index of all zeros `(0, 0, 0, 0)`. When listing the coefficients, the position in the array must correspond to the position in the array of indexes. Also, the indices must be ordered with linear terms first, quadratic terms next and so forth. A polynomial operator does not have an explicit domain. It could be evaluated on an array of any real numbers.

  Parameters:

    - coefficients (List, np.array) – Floating point values for the coefficients of a polynomial. Must correspond to the entries in the indices array.

    - indices (List, np.array) – List of tuples or 2d np.array with integer values describing the term which the corresponding coefficient value is used for.

  Examples

      >>> coefficients = [-1, -1, 2]
      >>> indices = [(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2)]
      >>> polynomial = Polynomial(coefficients, indices)
      >>> test_solution = np.array([1, 1])
      >>> polynomial.evaluate(test_solution)
      [0]
      >>> test_solution = np.array([1, 0])
      >>> polynomial.evaluate(test_solution)
      [-1]

class eqc_models.solvers.Dirac1CloudSolver(url=None, api_token=None)

  Bases: `Dirac1Mixin`, `QuboSolverMixin`, `QciClientSolver`

  ## Overview

  Dirac1CloudSolver is a class that encapsulates the different calls to Qatalyst for Dirac-1 jobs, which are quadratic binary optimization problems.

  Examples

      >>> C = np.array([[-1], [-1]])
      >>> J = np.array([[0, 1.0], [1.0, 0]])
      >>> from eqc_models.base.quadratic import QuadraticModel
      >>> model = QuadraticModel(C, J)
      >>> model.upper_bound = np.array([1, 1]) # set the domain maximum per variable
      >>> solver = Dirac1CloudSolver()
      >>> response = solver.solve(model, num_samples=5)
      2... submitted... COMPLETED...
      >>> response["results"]["energies"][0] <= 1.0
      True

class eqc_models.solvers.Dirac3CloudSolver(url=None, api_token=None)

  Bases: `Dirac3Mixin`, `QciClientSolver`

  Dirac3CloudSolver is a class that encapsulates the different calls to Qatalyst for Dirac-3 jobs. Currently, there are two different jobs, one for integer and another for continuous solutions. Calling the solve method with different arguments controls which job is submitted. The continuous job requires `sum_constraint`. The integer job does not accept this parameter, so specifying a sum constraint forces the job type to be continuous, and not specifying it results in the integer job being called.

  ## Continuous Solver

  Utilizing Dirac-3 as a continuous solver involves encoding the variables in single time bins with the values of each determined by a normalized photon count value.

  ## Integer Solver

  Utilizing Dirac-3 as an integer solver involves encoding the variables in multiple time bins, each representing a certain value for that variable, or “qudit”.

  Examples

      >>> C = np.array([[1], [1]])
      >>> J = np.array([[-1.0, 0], [0, -1.0]])
      >>> from eqc_models.base.quadratic import QuadraticModel
      >>> model = QuadraticModel(C, J)
      >>> model.upper_bound = np.array([1, 1]) # set the domain maximum per variable
      >>> solver = Dirac3CloudSolver()
      >>> response = solver.solve(model, sum_constraint=1, relaxation_schedule=1)
      2... submitted... COMPLETED...
      >>> response["results"]["energies"][0] <= 1.0
      True
      >>> C = np.array([-1, -1], dtype=np.float32)
      >>> J = np.array([[0, 1], [1, 0]], dtype=np.float32)
      >>> model = QuadraticModel(C, J)
      >>> model.upper_bound = np.array([1, 1]) # set the domain maximum per variable
      >>> response = solver.solve(model, relaxation_schedule=1)
      2... submitted... COMPLETED...
      >>> response["results"]["energies"][0] == -1.0

# eqc_models.assignment

class eqc_models.assignment.QAPModel(A: ndarray, B: ndarray, C: ndarray)

  Bases: `ConstrainedQuadraticModel`

  Parameters:

    - A (np.array) – matrix of distances or costs between locations

    - B (np.array) – matrix of flows between facilities

    - C (np.array) – matrix pf fixed costs of assigning facilities to locations

  Formulates a quadratic programming model from three inputs. The inputs are composed of: a matrix which describes the unit cost of moving a single asset between locations. This matrix can describe asynchronous costs that differ by direction of flow; a matrix which describes the quantity of flow between facilities. This matrix describes the quantity in the direction of flow; a matrix which desribes the fixed cost of assigning a facility to a location.

  Using these flows and costs, an optimization problem is formulated to determine a solution which minimizes the total cost for positioning facilities at locations. The facilities do not have to be buildings or campuses and the locations do not have to be geographical locations. See Beckmann and and Koopmans (1957) for the original reference.

  Bases: `ConstrainedPolynomialModel`

  This class represents a set partitioning model for optimization problems that require selecting subsets to partition a universal set while minimizing an objective function defined by weights. Given a collection of subsets, a weight is assigned to each subset, and the goal is to determine an optimal selection of subsets to fully cover the universal set with minimized total weight.

  Parameters:

    - subsets (List of sets) – List of sets (subsets) defining the collection to partition. Each element in this list represents a subset containing elements from the universal set.

    - weights (List of floats) – List of weights corresponding to each subset. The length of this list should be equal to the number of subsets, with each weight indicating the cost or weight associated with selecting a particular subset.

    Type:

      np.ndarray

  quad_objective

    Type:

      tuple of np.ndarray

  universal_set

    Set containing all unique elements present across the input subsets, representing the elements that must be fully covered in the partition solution.

    Type:

      set

  Example

  Given a list of subsets representing a set partition problem, each with an associated weight:

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> np.random.seed(21)
      >>> subsets = [{"A", "B", "C"}, {"D", "E", "F"}, {"A", "F"}, {"B", "E"}, {"C", "D"}, {"A"},
                     {"B"}, {"C", "D", "E"}, {"B", "C"}]
      >>> weights = [100 * np.random.random() for _ in subsets]

  We can construct and use the SetPartitionModel as follows:

      >>> model = SetPartitionModel(subsets=subsets, weights=weights)
      >>> solution = np.random.randint(0, 2, len(subsets))  # Random binary solution vector
      >>> print("Objective Value:", model.evaluateObjective(solution))  # Evaluate solution cost

  This approach builds the constraints matrix and penalties automatically, enabling efficient optimization using solvers like Dirac3CloudSolver.

# eqc_models.algorithms

class eqc_models.algorithms.PenaltyMultiplierAlgorithm(model: ConstraintModel, solver: ModelSolver, penalty_threshold: float = 1e-06, progress_threshold: float = 0.0001)

  Bases: `Algorithm`

  Parameters:

    - model (ConstraintModel) – Instance of a model to search out a penalty multiplier value, must be constrained model.

    - solver (ModelSolver subclass) – Instance of a solver class to use to run the algorithm.

  ## Properties

  upper_boundfloat

    Upper bound value for the objective function, this need not be a least upper bound, but the tighter the value, the more efficient the search

  solutionsList

    The solutions found during the algorithm run

  alphasList

    The values of multiplier found at each algorithm iteration

  penaltiesList

    The values for penalties found at each algorithm iteration. A penalty of 0 indicates algorithm termination.

  penalty_thresholdfloat

    This value is the cutoff for penalty values that are threated as 0. Default is 1e-6.

  progress_thresholdfloat

    This value is the cutoff for checking for progress on reducing the penalty value. The current penalty is compared to the average of the previous two and if the absolute difference is less than this value, then the algorithm stops, reporting progress has not been made. The default value is 1e-4.

  dynamic_rangeList

    The values for the dynamic range of the unconstrained problem formulation, which is useful for identifying difficulty in representation of the problem on the analog device.

  The penalty multiplier search algorithm uses an infeasible solution to select the next value for the penalty multiplier. The algorithm depends upon good solutions and only guarantees termination when the solution found for a given multiplier is optimal. For this reason, the implementation will terminate when no progress is made, thus making it a heuristic. Providing an exact solver for the solver instance will guarantee that the algorithm is correct and the penalty mulktiplier found is the minimal multiplier capable of enforcing the condition that an unconstrained objective value for a feasible solution is less than an unconstrained objective value for an infeasible solution.

  This example uses the quadratic assignment problem and the known multiplier to test the implementation of the algorithm.

# eqc_models.utilities.qplib

Read the file format from QPLIB (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12532-018-0147-4)

The “problem type” is a string of three characters.

The first character indicates the type of objective function used. It must be one of the following:

> L a linear objective function D a convex quadratic objective function whose Hessian is a diagonal matrix C a convex quadratic objective function Q a quadratic objective function whose Hessian may be indefinite

The second character indicates the types of variables that are present. It must be one of the following:

> C all the variables are continuous B all the variables are binary (0-1) M the variables are a mix of continuous and binary I all the variables are integer G the variables are a mix of continuous, binary and integer

The third character indicates the type of the (most extreme) constraint function used; other constraints may be of a lesser type. It must be one of the following:

> N there are no constraints B some of the variables lie between lower and upper bounds (box constraints) L the constraint functions are linear D the constraint functions are convex quadratics with diagonal Hessians C the constraint functions are convex quadratics Q the constraint functions are quadratics whose Hessians may be indefinite

Thus for continuous problems, we would have

> LCL a linear program LCC or LCQ a linear program with quadratic constraints CCB or QCB a bound-constrained quadratic program CCL or QCL a quadratic program CCC or CCQ or a quadratic program with quadratic constraints QCC or QCQ

class eqc_models.utilities.qplib.QBBModel(C: ndarray, J: ndarray)

  Bases: `QuadraticModel`

  QBB - Quadratic objective, binary variable type, unconstrained

  This model type is the same as a QUBO model, but the linear portion is specified separately, instead of in the diagonal.

  :param : :type : C: np.ndarray - linear portion of the objective :param : :type : J: np.ndarray - quadratic portion of the objective

class eqc_models.utilities.qplib.QGLModel(C_obj: array, J_obj: array, lhs: array, rhs: array)

  Bases: `ConstrainedQuadraticModel`

  QGL - Quadratic objective, General variable type, Linear constraints Handles QCL, QIL, QBL, QML problems

  :param : :type : C: np.ndarray - linear portion of the objective :param : :type : J: np.ndarray - quadratic portion of the objective :param : :type : A: np.ndarray - left hand side of the linear constraints :param : :type : b: np.ndarray - right hand side of the linear constraints
