qml.init.qaoa_embedding_normal

qaoa_embedding_normal(n_layers, n_wires, mean=0, std=0.1, seed=None)

Creates a parameter array for QAOAEmbedding(), drawn from a normal distribution.

Each parameter is drawn from a normal distribution with mean and variance. The parameters define the the trainable angles of ‘ZZ interactions’ and the ‘local fields’ in the template.

Parameters

• n_layers (int) – number of layers

• n_wires (int) – number of qubits

• mean (float) – mean of parameters

• std (float) – standard deviation of parameters

• seed (int) – seed used in sampling the parameters, makes function call deterministic

Returns

parameter array

Return type
