dwave.embedding.embed_qubo

embed_qubo(source_Q, embedding, target_adjacency, chain_strength=None)[source]

Embed a QUBO onto a target graph.

Parameters
  • source_Q (dict[(variable, variable), bias]) – Coefficients of a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) model.

  • embedding (dict) – Mapping from source graph to target graph as a dict of form {s: {t, …}, …}, where s is a source-model variable and t is a target-model variable.

  • target_adjacency (dict/networkx.Graph) – Adjacency of the target graph as a dict of form {t: Nt, …}, where t is a target-graph variable and Nt is its set of neighbours.

  • chain_strength (float/mapping/callable, optional) – Sets the coupling strength between qubits representing variables that form a chain. Mappings should specify the required chain strength for each variable. Callables should accept the BQM and embedding and return a float or mapping. By default, chain_strength is calculated with uniform_torque_compensation().

Returns

Quadratic biases of the target QUBO.

Return type

dict[(variable, variable), bias]

Examples

This example embeds a triangular QUBO representing a \(K_3\) clique into a square target graph by mapping variable c in the source to nodes 2 and 3 in the target.

>>> import networkx as nx
...
>>> target = nx.cycle_graph(4)
>>> # QUBO
>>> Q = {('a', 'b'): 1, ('b', 'c'): 1, ('a', 'c'): 1}
>>> # Variable c is a chain
>>> embedding = {'a': {0}, 'b': {1}, 'c': {2, 3}}
>>> # Embed and show the resulting biases
>>> tQ = dwave.embedding.embed_qubo(Q, embedding, target)
>>> tQ
