LABS using circuit? about qokit HOT 9 CLOSED

@jmlarson1, thank you for raising this issue!

This is indeed a bug as the support for Qiskit simulation leveraging the parameterized QAOA circuit appears to have been lost. Somehow, this has escaped our test coverage, which is unfortunate.

The short of it is that simply instantiating parameterized QAOA circuit and passing it to get_qaoa_objective should work.

We will aim to resolve this soon (though possibly after the holidays).

Many of us, including @Shagun-G are interested in having this functionality

from qokit.

@jmlarson1 @Shagun-G @mmenickelly:
I added a quick hot fix in #30 that should address your needs. Here is a quick test that the implementation is correct:

import numpy as np
from qokit.parameter_utils import get_best_known_parameters_for_LABS_wrt_overlap_for_p
from qokit.qaoa_objective_labs import get_qaoa_labs_objective

N = 7
p = 8
gamma, beta = get_best_known_parameters_for_LABS_wrt_overlap_for_p(N, p)

f1 = get_qaoa_labs_objective(N, p, parameterization="gamma beta", simulator="auto")
f2 = get_qaoa_labs_objective(N, p, parameterization="gamma beta", simulator="qiskit")

assert np.isclose(f1(gamma, beta), f2(gamma, beta))

Thank you. I need to try a different build because I get an error:

I would suggest trying to re-install from source in a clean venv/conda environment.

@jmlarson1 was your issue resolved by #30?

from qokit.

Yes! The example works for me. Thank you.

Is there some obvious way to pass the desired number of shots to the get_qaoa_labs_objective method? f1(gamma, beta, shots=1000) would be nice, and would seem to match qokit/qaoa_circuit_portfolio.py where one can
execute(circuit, backend, shots=n_trials).

But that doesn't work (and I don't even see that kwargs are passed to get_qaoa_labs_objective).

from qokit.

The simulator does not support emulating shot-based noise. Only exact expectation value is returned currently.

from qokit.

That is understandable. Is there a shot-based get_qaoa_labs_objective (without a simulator, perhaps)?
