Hello, whenever I try to run my program i faced an issue in training model as mentioned below. As I am new to Pennylane and QML I am having a hard time understanding what the error is. The problem I have implemented is a regression or parameter estimation problem and I am not very sure if this circuit can be used for regression. I went through the photonic architecture based function fitting demo in pennylane but that specific architecture is kind of slow for my requirement and I feel like the one below has more flexibility in terms of developing the circuits (I may be wrong). And in the former i can’t give (900,1000) as input and the only way i can do it is using Amplitude Embedding hence I resorted to this. Please go through this and let me know what can be done. Thank you.
- I have attached the code below. I initiate inputs to 10 qubits and require only 5 outputs to estimate 5 parameters, hence i have used separate CNOT gates to entangle neighboring qubits.
- I have provided random x_train and y_train inputs here but of the same size as the actual data. If required, I can provide the actual dataset as well.
- Note: I am new to QML and pennlane and I am running the whole code using Google Colab and all the packages are up-to-date.
n_qubits = 10
layers = 2
dev = qml.device("lightning.qubit", wires=n_qubits)
@qml.qnode(dev)
def qnn(weights, inputs):
qml.AmplitudeEmbedding(inputs, wires=range(n_qubits),pad_with=0.5)
qml.StronglyEntanglingLayers(weights, wires=range(n_qubits))
for i in range(n_qubits-1):
if i%2==0:
qml.CNOT(wires=[i,i+1])
# qml.BasicEntanglerLayers(weights, wires=range(n_qubits))
# qml.RandomLayers(weights,wires=range(n_qubits))
return [qml.expval(qml.PauliZ(i)) for i in range(n_qubits)[1::2]]
var_init = pnp.random.randn(layers, n_qubits, 3,requires_grad=True)
def mse(observed, predictions):
loss = 0
for l, p in zip(observed, predictions):
loss = loss + (l - p) ** 2
loss = loss / len(observed)
return loss
def cost(var, features, observed):
preds = [qnn(var,x) for x in features]
return mse(observed, preds)
x_train = np.random.randn(900,1000)
y_train = np.random.randn(900,5)
opt = qml.AdamOptimizer(0.1, beta1=0.9, beta2=0.999)
var = var_init
for it in range(100):
(var, _, _), _cost = opt.step_and_cost(cost, var, x_train, y_train)
print("Iter: {:5d} | Cost: {:0.7f} ".format(it, _cost))
This is the error I get when I try to train my model:
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
