GeneticFactory

public protocol GeneticFactory

A genetic algorithm to find a quantum circuit that includes a Gate.oracle(truthTable:target:controls:) and solves a list of GeneticUseCase instances.

EvolvedCircuit
Result type returned by GeneticFactory.evolveCircuit(configuration:useCases:gates:).

Values returned:
- eval: Score of the evolded circuit. The nearer to 0, the better solution the circuit is.
- gates: Evolved circuit.
- oracleAt: Position of Gate.oracle(truthTable:target:controls:) in gates.
Declaration
Swift

typealias EvolvedCircuit = (eval: Double, gates: [Gate], oracleAt: Int?)


                    
                    
                    evolveCircuit(configuration:useCases:gates:)

Look for a quantum circuit that solves a list of useCases using only gates and the parameter informed in the configuration.

Declaration

Swift

func evolveCircuit(configuration config: GeneticConfiguration,
                   useCases: [GeneticUseCase],
                   gates: [ConfigurableGate]) -> Result<EvolvedCircuit, EvolveCircuitError>

Parameters

`configuration`	A `GeneticConfiguration` instance wih the parameters for a genetic algorithm.
`useCases`	List of `GeneticUseCase` instances for which the algorithm looks for a circuit that solves all of them simultaneously.
`gates`	List of allowed gates, i.e. the evolved circuit will only include gates specified in this list and, if necessary, an oracle gate.

Return Value

An EvolvedCircuit instance. Or EvolveCircuitError error.
