SLSQP
class qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.SLSQP(maxiter=100, disp=False, ftol=1e-06, tol=None, eps=1.4901161193847656e-08, options=None, max_evals_grouped=1, **kwargs)
Bases: SciPyOptimizer
Sequential Least SQuares Programming optimizer.
SLSQP minimizes a function of several variables with any combination of bounds, equality and inequality constraints. The method wraps the SLSQP Optimization subroutine originally implemented by Dieter Kraft.
SLSQP is ideal for mathematical problems for which the objective function and the constraints are twice continuously differentiable. Note that the wrapper handles infinite values in bounds by converting them into large floating values.
Uses scipy.optimize.minimize SLSQP. For further detail, please refer to See https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.minimize.html
Parameters
- maxiter (int) – Maximum number of iterations.
- disp (bool) – Set to True to print convergence messages.
- ftol (float) – Precision goal for the value of f in the stopping criterion.
- tol (float | None) – Tolerance for termination.
- eps (float) – Step size used for numerical approximation of the Jacobian.
- options (dict | None) – A dictionary of solver options.
- max_evals_grouped (int) – Max number of default gradient evaluations performed simultaneously.
- kwargs – additional kwargs for scipy.optimize.minimize.

Methods
get_support_level
get_support_level()
Return support level dictionary
gradient_num_diff
static gradient_num_diff(x_center, f, epsilon, max_evals_grouped=None)
We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x_center.
Parameters
- x_center (ndarray) – point around which we compute the gradient
- f (func) – the function of which the gradient is to be computed.
- epsilon (float) – the epsilon used in the numeric differentiation.
- max_evals_grouped (int) – max evals grouped, defaults to 1 (i.e. no batching).
Returns
the gradient computed
Return type
grad
minimize
minimize(fun, x0, jac=None, bounds=None)
Minimize the scalar function.
Parameters
- fun (Callable[[POINT], float]) – The scalar function to minimize.
- x0 (POINT) – The initial point for the minimization.
- jac (Callable[[POINT], POINT] | None) – The gradient of the scalar function
fun. - bounds (list[tuple[float, float]] | None) – Bounds for the variables of
fun. This argument might be ignored if the optimizer does not support bounds.
Returns
The result of the optimization, containing e.g. the result as attribute x.
Return type
print_options
print_options()
Print algorithm-specific options.
set_max_evals_grouped
set_max_evals_grouped(limit)
Set max evals grouped
set_options
set_options(**kwargs)
Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
The options dictionary may be used internally by a given optimizer to pass additional optional values for the underlying optimizer/optimization function used. The options dictionary may be initially populated with a set of key/values when the given optimizer is constructed.
Parameters
kwargs (dict) – options, given as name=value.
wrap_function
static wrap_function(function, args)
Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
Parameters
- function (func) – the target function
- args (tuple) – the args to be injected
Returns
wrapper
Return type
