QML4EO-tutorial: Hybrid Quantum Convolutional Neural Network Classifier

This tutorial is meant to be done in Google Colab

In any case you can run everything on your hardare, but keep attention to the enviroment (so skip cells that want to install packages) (follow the requirements file). Moreover you need to adjust paths both in config file and at the beginning of the notebook.

Configuration file

Before running the notebook you must check the config file. This file is organized in thre sections:

• QCNN settings: here you can modify the quantum cicuit structure by acting on "NUM_QUBITS" and "NUM_LAYERS
• Dataset settings: here you have to set the root path of the training and validation set respectively
• Training settings: here you can modify parameters like learning rate, momentum, etc.

Additional Notebooks

• Visualize EO data
