# AQGD
<Class id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.AQGD" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/algorithms/optimizers/aqgd.py" signature="AQGD(maxiter=1000, eta=1.0, tol=1e-06, momentum=0.25, param_tol=1e-06, averaging=10)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.optimizer.Optimizer`
Analytic Quantum Gradient Descent (AQGD) with Epochs optimizer. Performs gradient descent optimization with a momentum term, analytic gradients, and customized step length schedule for parameterized quantum gates, i.e. Pauli Rotations. See, for example:
* K. Mitarai, M. Negoro, M. Kitagawa, and K. Fujii. (2018). Quantum circuit learning. Phys. Rev. A 98, 032309. [https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.00745](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.00745)
* Maria Schuld, Ville Bergholm, Christian Gogolin, Josh Izaac, Nathan Killoran. (2019). Evaluating analytic gradients on quantum hardware. Phys. Rev. A 99, 032331. [https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.11184](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.11184)
for further details on analytic gradients of parameterized quantum gates.
Gradients are computed “analytically” using the quantum circuit when evaluating the objective function.
Performs Analytical Quantum Gradient Descent (AQGD) with Epochs.
**Parameters**
* **maxiter** (`Union`\[`int`, `List`\[`int`]]) Maximum number of iterations (full gradient steps)
* **eta** (`Union`\[`float`, `List`\[`float`]]) The coefficient of the gradient update. Increasing this value results in larger step sizes: param = previous\_param - eta \* deriv
* **tol** (`float`) Tolerance for change in windowed average of objective values. Convergence occurs when either objective tolerance is met OR parameter tolerance is met.
* **momentum** (`Union`\[`float`, `List`\[`float`]]) Bias towards the previous gradient momentum in current update. Must be within the bounds: \[0,1)
* **param\_tol** (`float`) Tolerance for change in norm of parameters.
* **averaging** (`int`) Length of window over which to average objective values for objective convergence criterion
**Raises**
[**AlgorithmError**](qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmError "qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmError") If the length of `maxiter`, momentum\`, and `eta` is not the same.
