Optimization converters

qiskit.optimization.converters

This is a set of converters having convert functionality to go between different representations of a given QuadraticProgram and to interpret a given result for the problem, based on the original problem before conversion, to return an appropriate OptimizationResult.

Base class for converters

QuadraticProgramConverterAn abstract class for converters of quadratic programs in Qiskit’s optimization module.

Converters

InequalityToEqualityConvert inequality constraints into equality constraints by introducing slack variables.
IntegerToBinaryConvert a QuadraticProgram into new one by encoding integer with binary variables.
LinearEqualityToPenaltyConvert a problem with only equality constraints to unconstrained with penalty terms.
QuadraticProgramToQuboConvert a given optimization problem to a new problem that is a QUBO.
