SciPyOptimizer
class qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.SciPyOptimizer(method, options=None, max_evals_grouped=1, **kwargs)
Bases: Optimizer
A general Qiskit Optimizer wrapping scipy.optimize.minimize.
For further detail, please refer to https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.minimize.html(opens in a new tab)
Parameters
- method (str(opens in a new tab) | Callable) – Type of solver.
- options (dict(opens in a new tab)[str(opens in a new tab), Any] | None) – A dictionary of solver options.
- kwargs – additional kwargs for scipy.optimize.minimize.
- max_evals_grouped (int(opens in a new tab)) – Max number of default gradient evaluations performed simultaneously.

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(opens in a new tab)) – the epsilon used in the numeric differentiation.
- max_evals_grouped (int(opens in a new tab)) – 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(opens in a new tab)]) – 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(opens in a new tab)[tuple(opens in a new tab)[float(opens in a new tab), float(opens in a new tab)]] | 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(opens in a new tab)) – 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(opens in a new tab)) – the args to be injected
Returns
wrapper
Return type
