Overview

ClassDescription
MathematicalProblemConverter
SampleResultResult of a sample() execution.

Classes

MathematicalProblemConverter [source]

class MathematicalProblemConverter(abc.ABC)

Constructor

def __init__(self, instance: ommx.v1.Instance | BinaryModel) -> None

Attributes

Methods

decode
def decode(self, samples: SampleResult[list[int]]) -> BinarySampleSet | ommx.v1.SampleSet

Decode quantum measurement results.

The return type tracks the input that built this converter:

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
samplesSampleResult[list[int]]Raw quantum measurement results from ExecutableProgram.sample(...).result().

Returns:

BinarySampleSet | ommx.v1.SampleSet — BinarySampleSet | ommx.v1.SampleSet: see method description.

See Also:

:meth:decode_to_binary_sampleset: always returns a :class:BinarySampleSet. Use it when you need the QUBO-domain (penalty-included) energy — e.g. to drive a classical optimizer that must penalize infeasibility.

Example:

>>> # OMMX in → OMMX out
>>> converter = QAOAConverter(ommx_instance)
>>> exe = converter.transpile(QiskitTranspiler(), p=2)
>>> result = exe.sample(QiskitTranspiler().executor(),
...                     shots=1024,
...                     bindings={"gammas": gs, "betas": bs}).result()
>>> sample_set = converter.decode(result)
>>> sample_set.best_feasible.objective
decode_to_binary_sampleset
def decode_to_binary_sampleset(self, samples: SampleResult[list[int]]) -> BinarySampleSet

Decode samples into a :class:BinarySampleSet.

Always returns a :class:BinarySampleSet, regardless of whether this converter was constructed with an :class:ommx.v1.Instance or a :class:BinaryModel. Use this when you need:

For most usage — feasibility, original-objective evaluation, per-constraint diagnostics — prefer the polymorphic :meth:decode, which returns an :class:ommx.v1.SampleSet for OMMX-backed converters.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
samplesSampleResult[list[int]]Raw quantum measurement results from ExecutableProgram.sample(...).result().

Returns:

BinarySampleSet — keyed by the SPIN model’s original variable BinarySampleSet — indices (the QUBO variable IDs for OMMX-backed converters) BinarySampleSet — in the converter’s original_vartype — BINARY for BinarySampleSet — OMMX-backed converters, the :class:BinaryModel’s declared BinarySampleSet — vartype otherwise.

get_cost_hamiltonian
def get_cost_hamiltonian(self) -> qm_o.Hamiltonian

Construct the cost Hamiltonian.

Subclasses must implement this method to build the appropriate Hamiltonian for their specific algorithm (e.g., Pauli-Z for QAOA, QRAC-encoded for QRAO).

Returns:

qm_o.Hamiltonian — qm_o.Hamiltonian: The cost Hamiltonian.


SampleResult [source]

class SampleResult(Generic[T])

Result of a sample() execution.

Contains results as a list of (value, count) tuples.

Example:

result.results  # [(0.25, 500), (0.75, 500)]

Constructor

def __init__(self, results: list[tuple[T, int]], shots: int) -> None

Attributes

Methods

most_common
def most_common(self, n: int = 1) -> list[tuple[T, int]]

Return the n most common results.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
nintNumber of results to return.

Returns:

list[tuple[T, int]] — List of (result, count) tuples sorted by count descending.

probabilities
def probabilities(self) -> list[tuple[T, float]]

Return probability distribution over results.

Returns:

list[tuple[T, float]] — List of (value, probability) tuples.
