backends

Full path: iqm.qaoa.backends

The module for various backends for calculating the expectation value / samples from QAOA.

Classes

EstimatorBackend	The ABC for estimator backends, i.e., those calculating the expected value of the Hamiltonian.
EstimatorFromSampler	The estimator class for calculating the expectation value using counts obtained from a sampler.
EstimatorQUIMB	The estimator class for calculating the expectation value using the tensor network package quimb.
EstimatorSingleLayer	The estimator class for calculating the expectation value analytically (for \(p=1\) QAOA).
EstimatorStateVector	The estimator class for calculating the expectation value using statevector simulation.
SamplerBackend	The ABC for sampler backends, i.e., those returning samples from the QAOA.
SamplerRandomBitstrings	A sampler that ignores the QAOA and just produces random bitstrings of the correct length.
SamplerResonance	A sampler that runs the circuit on IQM Resonance and returns the result.
SamplerSimulation	A sampler that simulates the QAOA circuit in qiskit.
