float) – absolute threshold value for gradients, has a min. value of 1e-15. - delta (
float) – finite difference step size for gradient computation, has a min. value of 1e-5. - max_iterations (
Optional[int]) – maximum number of macro iterations of the VQEAdapt algorithm. - max_evals_grouped (
int) – max number of evaluations performed simultaneously - aux_operators (

Methods
cleanup_parameterized_circuits
VQEAdapt.cleanup_parameterized_circuits()
set parameterized circuits to None
find_minimum
VQEAdapt.find_minimum(initial_point=None, var_form=None, cost_fn=None, optimizer=None, gradient_fn=None)
Optimize to find the minimum cost value.
Parameters
- initial_point (
Optional[ndarray]) – If not None will be used instead of any initial point supplied via constructor. If None and None was supplied to constructor then a random point will be used if the optimizer requires an initial point. - var_form (
Union[QuantumCircuit,VariationalForm,None]) – If not None will be used instead of any variational form supplied via constructor. - cost_fn (
Optional[Callable]) – If not None will be used instead of any cost_fn supplied via constructor. - optimizer (
Optional[Optimizer]) – If not None will be used instead of any optimizer supplied via constructor. - gradient_fn (
Optional[Callable]) – Optional gradient function for optimizer
Returns
Optimized variational parameters, and corresponding minimum cost value.
