HYVIS

Package for visualization of high dimensional function landscapes, in particular those in quantum-classical hybrid systems.

Provided by JoS Quantum.

Installation

pip install hyvis

Features

• Create and manipulate affine linear subspaces of a higher dimensional superspace

• Scan subspaces and visualize the outcome

• Calculate Hessians and use them for visualization

• Explore generating videos using a trajectory in the landscape

Examples

The following notebooks demonstrate the most relevant features:

• Basics: A toy function scanned in the most simple ways.
• Hessian: Using the Hessian to better understand a landscape.
• Videos: Animated videos of scans moving through the hyperspace.
• Non-trivial Lanscapes: The package applied to more involved loss functions. (requires hyvis[qaoa])
