dimod

dimod is a shared API for samplers. It provides:

  • classes for quadratic models---such as the binary quadratic model (BQM) class that contains Ising and QUBO models used by samplers such as the D-Wave system---and higher-order (non-quadratic) models.
  • reference examples of samplers and composed samplers.
  • abstract base classes for constructing new samplers and composed samplers.

(For explanations of the terminology, see the Ocean glossary.)

Example Usage

>>> import dimod
...
>>> # Construct a problem
>>> bqm = dimod.BinaryQuadraticModel({0: -1, 1: 1}, {(0, 1): 2}, 0.0, dimod.BINARY)
...
>>> # Use dimod's brute force solver to solve the problem
>>> sampleset = dimod.ExactSolver().sample(bqm)
>>> print(sampleset)
