Ember

A toolkit for experimenting with novel heuristic algorithms to minor embed QUBO graphs for quantum annealing

Setup Instructions

1. Install OR-Tools C++ for your operating system. Then export the installation directory as:

export ORTOOLS_DIR=/path/to/ortools

Note: It is possible to skip this step, however, constraint loading will fallback to the Python API which has a large performance penalty.

2. Make sure you have python>=3.7. If you have pip version >=19.0, then simply invoke a PEP-517 install by running:

pip install ./ember

3. (Alternative) You can also install with poetry.

poetry install

4. Run the example script

python3 driver.py
