Bases: [`qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.scipy_optimizer.SciPyOptimizer`](qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.SciPyOptimizer "qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.scipy_optimizer.SciPyOptimizer")
|
||
|
||
Parallelized Limited-memory BFGS optimizer.
|
||
|
||
P-BFGS is a parallelized version of [`L_BFGS_B`](qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.L_BFGS_B "qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.L_BFGS_B") with which it shares the same parameters. P-BFGS can be useful when the target hardware is a quantum simulator running on a classical machine. This allows the multiple processes to use simulation to potentially reach a minimum faster. The parallelization may also help the optimizer avoid getting stuck at local optima.
|
||
|
||
Uses scipy.optimize.fmin\_l\_bfgs\_b. For further detail, please refer to [https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.fmin\_l\_bfgs\_b.html](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.fmin_l_bfgs_b.html)
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **maxfun** (`int`) – Maximum number of function evaluations.
|
||
* **ftol** (`float`) – The iteration stops when (f^k - f^\{k+1})/max\{|f^k|,|f^\{k+1}|,1} \<= ftol.
|
||
* **iprint** (`int`) – Controls the frequency of output. iprint \< 0 means no output; iprint = 0 print only one line at the last iteration; 0 \< iprint \< 99 print also f and |proj g| every iprint iterations; iprint = 99 print details of every iteration except n-vectors; iprint = 100 print also the changes of active set and final x; iprint > 100 print details of every iteration including x and g.
|
||
* **max\_processes** (`Optional`\[`int`]) – maximum number of processes allowed, has a min. value of 1 if not None.
|
||
* **options** (`Optional`\[`dict`]) – A dictionary of solver options.
|
||
* **max\_evals\_grouped** (`int`) – Max number of default gradient evaluations performed simultaneously.
|
||
* **kwargs** – additional kwargs for scipy.optimize.minimize.
