Out of Tune: Demystifying Noise-Effects on Quantum Fourier Models

This repository contains the source code and additional results for our paper "Out of Tune: Demystifying Noise-Effects on Quantum Fourier Models". A preprint is available on ArXiv.

Results

Looking for supplementary results beyond the scope of the paper? :eyes: Head over to the results page.

Getting Started :rocket:

This repository uses Kedro. To get started, follow these steps: 1. Clone this repository 2. Run poetry install or pip install -r requirements.txt 3. Run the experiment: kedro run

Experiments are automatically recorded using MlFlow. You can view the experiments by 1. Running poetry run kedro mlflow ui 2. Navigating to http://127.0.0.1:5000

To visualize the nodes and pipeline 1. Run poetry run kedro viz 2. Navigating to http://127.0.0.1:4141

Tweaking :wrench:

• To specify a pipeline: kedro run --pipeline NAME
• Parameters can be adjusted in conf/base/parameters.yml or as command line arguments --params=<key1>=<value1>

Reproduction

Docker

Get docker image

Download image from github registry: docker pull ghcr.io/cirkiters/effect-of-noise-in-qfms/effect_of_noise_repro:latest

Or download effect_of_noise_repro.tar from Zenodo and load: docker load -i effect_of_noise_repro.tar

Or build image:

docker build -t effect_of_noise_repro .

Create Container

docker run --name effect_of_noise_repro_cont [<-flags>] -it effect_of_noise_repro [<option>]

The <option> specifies which operations are performed on container start.

Available options are: * experiments_paper*: performs all experiments shown in the paper * plot_paper_results: generates the the plots for the paper using R (only available if either the paper experiments are run first, or result data is downloaded from Zenodo) * coefficients: performs coefficient experiment based on the configuration * entanglement: performs entanglement experiment based on the configuration * expressibility: performs entanglement experiment based on the configuration * training: performs training experiment based on the configuration * bash(default): does not perform any operation, but launches interactive shell, default

Feel free to define additional <-flags>, we recommend volumes, e.g.: Volumes, to keep track of generated files and configuration on the host system: -v $PWD/mlruns:/home/repro/effect-of-noise-in-qfms/mlruns -v $PWD/plotting:/home/repro/effect-of-noise-in-qfms/plotting -v $PWD/conf/base:/home/repro/effect-of-noise-in-qfms/conf/base

*Please note the long runtimes when executing all experiments (hours to days). For quickly inspecting our reproduction package, we recommend to use the other options.

Start a stopped container

Not done yet? You do not have to run a new container for new experiments. Just call: docker start -i effect_of_noise_repro_cont and check out the scripts folder, or the instructions above.
