# Description

MatchCake is a Python package that provides a new PennyLane device for simulating a specific class of quantum 
circuits called Matchgate circuits or matchcircuits. These circuits are made with matchgates, a class of restricted 
quantum unitaries that are parity-preserving and operate on nearest-neighbor qubits. These constraints lead to matchgates being classically simulable in polynomial time.

Additionally, this package provides quantum kernels made with [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) API allowing the 
use matchcircuits as kernels in quantum machine learning algorithms. One way to use these kernels could be in a Support Vector 
Machine (SVM). In the [benchmark/classification](benchmark/classification/README.md) folder, you can 
find some scripts that use SVM with matchcircuits as a kernel to classify the Iris dataset, the Breast Cancer dataset, 
and the Digits dataset in polynomial time with high accuracy.

# Quick Usage Preview

## Quantum Circuit Simulation with MatchCake
```python
import matchcake as mc
import pennylane as qml
import numpy as np
from pennylane.ops.qubit.observables import BasisStateProjector

# Create a Non-Interacting Fermionic Device
nif_device = mc.NonInteractingFermionicDevice(wires=4)
initial_state = np.zeros(len(nif_device.wires), dtype=int)

# Define a quantum circuit
def circuit(params, wires, initial_state=None):
    qml.BasisState(initial_state, wires=wires)
    for i, even_wire in enumerate(wires[:-1:2]):
        idx = list(wires).index(even_wire)
        curr_wires = [wires[idx], wires[idx + 1]]
        mc.operations.fRXX(params, wires=curr_wires)
        mc.operations.fRYY(params, wires=curr_wires)
        mc.operations.fRZZ(params, wires=curr_wires)
    for i, odd_wire in enumerate(wires[1:-1:2]):
        idx = list(wires).index(odd_wire)
        mc.operations.fSWAP(wires=[wires[idx], wires[idx + 1]])
    projector: BasisStateProjector = qml.Projector(initial_state, wires=wires)
    return qml.expval(projector)

# Create a QNode
nif_qnode = qml.QNode(circuit, nif_device)
qml.draw_mpl(nif_qnode)(np.array([0.1, 0.2]), wires=nif_device.wires, initial_state=initial_state)

# Evaluate the QNode
expval = nif_qnode(np.random.random(2), wires=nif_device.wires, initial_state=initial_state)
print(f"Expectation value: {expval}")
```

## Data Classification with MatchCake

```python
from matchcake.ml.kernels import FermionicPQCKernel
from matchcake.ml.svm import FixedSizeSVC
from matchcake.ml.visualisation import ClassificationVisualizer
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler

# Load the iris dataset
X, y = datasets.load_iris(return_X_y=True)
X = MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1)).fit_transform(X)
x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)

# Create and fit the model
model = FixedSizeSVC(kernel_cls=FermionicPQCKernel, kernel_kwargs=dict(size=4), random_state=0)
model.fit(x_train, y_train)

# Evaluate the model
test_accuracy = model.score(x_test, y_test)
print(f"Test accuracy: {test_accuracy * 100:.2f}%")

# Visualize the classification
viz = ClassificationVisualizer(x=X, n_pts=1_000)
viz.plot_2d_decision_boundaries(model=model, y=y, show=True)

# Notes
- This package is still in development and some features may not be available yet.
- The documentation is still in development and may not be complete yet.
- The package works only with the forked version of PennyLane available 
[here](https://github.com/JeremieGince/pennylane.git@v0_32_0-dev1). In the future, the package will be compatible with
the official version of PennyLane.
