Pasqal Challenge

Set-up

1. First install the package manager uv. On Mac:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

If that doesn't work, check out the uv docs

3. The following command will use the pyproject.toml, uv.lock and .python-version files to properly build the virtual environment.

uv sync

4. Activate the virtual environment.

source .venv/bin/activate

5. Now you should be able to run the code.

To run the quantum solver:

uv run ed_quantum.py

To run the classical solver, where you can edit NUM_GENS and NUM_SCENARIOS:

uv run uc_classical_clean.py

This will output a dataset into data/.

To run the QNN on this data, qnn.ipynb has been created to guide you through the model training, evaluation and classical comparison process.
