haiqu.vector_loading() Use haiqu.vector_loading() to generate an arbitrary quantum state from a vector of amplitudes. For a 12-qubit sin wave, traditional amplitude encoding requires 4083 CNOT gates and 4083 two-qubit gate depth. Haiqu’s method prepares the same state with 21 CNOT gates (194.4x improvement) and 11 two-qubit gate depth (371.2x improvement). haiqu.vector_loading() What does it do? Vector loading prepares a quantum state, which amplitudes match a given data vector. How do I use it? Pass a real or complex vector to create a data loading job, then retrieve results with job.result(). What are the options? Optional parameters include various hyperparameters for circuit synthesis such as num_layers, truncation_cutoff and fine_tuning_iterations. Which option do you recommend? Start with the default settings for basic use cases. Observe the state fidelity returned by the job result and increase number of layers and fine tuning iterations if necessary to achieve a better precision. Having a bug or an issue?

# we load a sin wave on 12 qubits

Run benchmark scenarios Prepare a quantum state with Qiskit’s default and Haiqu’s methods 
# Scenario 1: standard method
circuit_qiskit = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(num_qubits, name="Qiskit")
circuit_qiskit.compose(StatePreparation(data, normalize=True), inplace=True)

# Scenario 2: Haiqu vector loading
circuit_haiqu = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(num_qubits, name="Haiqu")
state_gate, fidelity = haiqu.vector_loading(data=data).result()
circuit_haiqu.compose(state_gate, inplace=True)
print(f"Haiqu state is loaded with fidelity: {fidelity:.3f}")
Haiqu’s vector loading significantly outperforms standard methods as shown in the comparison table below: 
# we consider an ideal device with all-to-all connectivity
device_ideal = haiqu.get_device("aer_simulator")

circuit_qiskit_transpiled = haiqu.transpile(circuit_qiskit, device=device_ideal)

circuit_haiqu_transpiled = haiqu.transpile(circuit_haiqu, device=device_ideal)

haiqu.compare_metrics(circuit_qiskit_transpiled, circuit_haiqu_transpiled)
💡 Good to Know: Vector loading method is approximate for an arbitrary quantum state, it performs better for more smooth input data vector.
