Input format for optimization problems |
microsoft.quantum.optimization.input-format |
This document explains how the parameters to optimization problems may be specified for all the different solvers.
| Property Name (case sensitive) | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| all_betas | a list of floats | Specifies the list of inverse temperatures. This list should be equal in length to the number of replicas (described below) |
| replicas | integer | Specifies the number of iterations of solver to run. |
| sweeps | integer | Specifies the number of Monte Carlo steps to perform in each iteration of a solver. |
| seed | A random integer. | Specifies a random value to start the simulation. |
| timeout | integer | Specifies the maximum number of seconds to run the core solver loop. initialization time does not respect this value, so the solver may run longer than the value specified. |
| Property Name (case sensitive) | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| beta_start | float | Specifies the list of inverse temperatures. This list should be equal in length to the number of replicas (described below) |
| beta_stop | float | Specifies the number of iterations of solver to run. |
| sweeps | integer | Specifies the number of Monte Carlo steps to perform in each iteration of a solver. |
| seed | A random integer. | Specifies a random value to start the simulation. |
| timeout | integer | Specifies the maximum number of seconds to run the core solver loop. initialization time does not respect this value, so the solver may run longer than the value specified. |
| restarts | integers | Specifies the number of iterations of the simulation to run. |
| Property Name (case sensitive) | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tabu_tenure | integer | Specifies the Tabu tenure. |
| timeout | integer | Specifies the maximum number of seconds to run the core solver loop. initialization time does not respect this value, so the solver may run longer than the value specified. |
| seed | A random integer betweenm 0 and 101 | Specifies a random value to start the simulation. |
| sweep | integer | Specifies the number of Monte Carlo steps to perform in each iteration of the simulation. |
| Property Name (case sensitive) | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| beta_start | float | Specifies the inverse of temperature at which the problem is solved. |
| transverse_field_start | float | Specifies the starting value of the external field supplied to the simulation. |
| transverse_field_end | float | Specified the ending value of the external field supplied to the simulation. |
| seed | A random integer | Specifies a random value to start the simulation. |
| sweep | integer | Specifies the number of Monte Carlo steps to perform in each iteration of the simulation. |
| trotter_number | integer | Specifies the number of copies of each variable to create in a simulation. |
