Refactor _evaluate_gradient
for param_shift
#5666
Conversation
As name says. --------- Co-authored-by: Astral Cai <astral.cai@xanadu.ai>
**Context:** Some newly added test cases failing with legacy opmath **Description of the Change:** Skip these tests if new opmath is disabled: `test_measure_identity_no_wires` in `tests/devices/qubit/test_measure.py` `test_identity_on_no_wires_with_other_observables` in `tests/devices/qubit/test_sampling.py` `test_observables_on_no_wires_coeffs` in `tests/pauli/grouping/test_pauli_group_observables.py` `test_multiple_hamiltonian_expansion_finite_shots` in `tests/test_qnode_legacy.py` **Related Shortcut Issues:** [sc-62144] [sc-62143]
**Context:** 1. `Hamiltonian` does not remove ops from queue if `simplify=True` 2. `TrotterProduct` does not remove `Hamiltonian` **Description of the Change:** Manually dequeue said ops **Related Shortcut Issues:** [sc-62142] --------- Co-authored-by: Mudit Pandey <mudit.pandey@xanadu.ai>
### Before submitting Please complete the following checklist when submitting a PR: - [x] All new features must include a unit test. If you've fixed a bug or added code that should be tested, add a test to the test directory! - [x] All new functions and code must be clearly commented and documented. If you do make documentation changes, make sure that the docs build and render correctly by running `make docs`. - [x] Ensure that the test suite passes, by running `make test`. - [x] Add a new entry to the `doc/releases/changelog-dev.md` file, summarizing the change, and including a link back to the PR. - [x] The PennyLane source code conforms to [PEP8 standards](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/). We check all of our code against [Pylint](https://www.pylint.org/). To lint modified files, simply `pip install pylint`, and then run `pylint pennylane/path/to/file.py`. When all the above are checked, delete everything above the dashed line and fill in the pull request template. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Context:** `qml.counts` does not return the same `keys` with `dynamic_one_shot` and `defer_measurements`. **Description of the Change:** Cast `keys` to the type produced by `concretize`. **Benefits:** Consistent `keys`. **Possible Drawbacks:** Slight (likely unnoticeable) performance decrease since `NDArray` object cannot be preallocated. **Related GitHub Issues:** #5566 --------- Co-authored-by: David Wierichs <david.wierichs@xanadu.ai>
- [x] Fix last open bug or open issue **Context:** Docs get out of sync over time. In particular, the output shape of gradient transforms applied to QNodes was changed in #4945 but not updated in the docs. **Description of the Change:** Update examples in docs of `qml.gradients` module. Also updates the `qml.kernels` docs, with a few very small changes. **Benefits:** **Possible Drawbacks:** **Related GitHub Issues:**

Very thorough with all the scenarios, LGTM!

A little difficult to keep track of what things should be what shapes where, but I think that's just a byproduct of our choice of result specification.
At the end of the day, tests pass and all individual chunks make sense.
…oadcast=True)` (#5667) **Context:** Shot vectors and multiple measurements are currently explicitly not supported when using `param_shift` with the `broadcast=True` option. In #5666 , a crucial subroutine `_evaluat_gradient` is being prepared to allow for support of these scenarios. **Description of the Change:** Allow for shot vectors and/or multiple measurements in `param_shift(..., broadcast=true)`. Due to the changes in #5666 including unit tests for the relevant subroutines, this PR mostly is concerned with integration tests. **Benefits:** Feature parity with `broadcast=False`, allowing faster gradient evaluation. **Possible Drawbacks:** **Related GitHub Issues:** fixes #5598 [sc-62283] --------- Co-authored-by: Mudit Pandey <mudit.pandey@xanadu.ai> Co-authored-by: Astral Cai <astral.cai@xanadu.ai> Co-authored-by: Vincent Michaud-Rioux <vincentm@nanoacademic.com> Co-authored-by: lillian542 <38584660+lillian542@users.noreply.github.com>
Context:
param_shift
uses the internal method_evaluate_gradient
, which mostly consists of logic to take the contraction of tape execution results with the parameter-shift rule coefficients and map it over tuple axes. It also needs to respect batching of execution results ifbroadcast=True
is used inparam_shift
.Description of the Change:
This PR cleans up
_evaluate_gradient
, extends it to multi-measurement and shot vector scenarios when broadcasting is used, and recycles helper methods fromgradient_transform.py
to reduce the code.We also add unit tests for this method, allowing to reduce integration test count in the future.
Benefits:
Prepare
_evaluate_gradient
for multi-measurement and shot vector support withbroadcast=True
.Improve testing and code quality.
Possible Drawbacks:
