qLEET: visualizing loss landscapes, expressibility, entangling power and training trajectories for parameterized quantum circuits

We present qLEET, an open-source Python package for studying parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), which are widely used in various variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) and quantum machine learning (QML) algorithms. qLEET enables computation of properties such as expressibility and entangling power of a PQC by studying its entanglement spectrum and the distribution of parameterized states produced by it. Furthermore, it allows users to visualize the training trajectories of PQCs along with high-dimensional loss landscapes generated by them for different objective functions. It supports quantum circuits and noise models built using popular quantum computing libraries such as Qiskit, Cirq, and PyQuil. In our work, we demonstrate how qLEET provides opportunities to design and improve hybrid quantum-classical algorithms by utilizing intuitive insights from the ansatz capability and structure of the loss landscape.
