New opening in the QML team @ Xanadu!

If you want to experiment yourself, you can construct and train quantum generative models in the IQPopt package we recently released:

github.com/XanaduAI/iqp...

We did not encounter problems of barren plateaus, which may be due to the fact we use a data-dependent initialisation strategy. We still aren't sure if the ansatz/loss combo has barren plateaus under random initialisation.

Very excited to release our latest paper on generative QML. Much to our own surprise, we show that it is feasible to train quantum models with up to a thousand qubits and hundreds of thousands of parameters, all on classical hardware.

We recently released a software package to optimize IQP circuits that scales to millions of qubits and gates. Our main motivation was quantum machine learning (paper on the way!), but we believe there could be many other applications.
