QuboTranslator ¶
Utility class for converting between dense QUBO matrices and symbolic models.
QuboTranslator provides methods to: - Convert a NumPy-style QUBO matrix into a symbolic Model - Convert a Model (with quadratic objective) into a dense QUBO matrix
These conversions are especially useful when interacting with external solvers or libraries that operate on matrix-based problem definitions.
Examples:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from luna_quantum.translator import QuboTranslator, Vtype
>>> q = np.array([[1.0, -1.0], [-1.0, 2.0]])
Create a model from a matrix:
Convert it back to a dense matrix:
from_aq staticmethod ¶
Convert a symbolic model to a dense QUBO matrix representation.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
model | Model | The symbolic model to convert. The objective must be quadratic-only and unconstrained. | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Qubo | An object representing a QUBO with information additional to the square NumPy array representing the QUBO matrix derived from the model's objective. This object also includes the |
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TranslationError | Generally if the translation fails. Might be specified by one of the four following errors. |
ModelNotQuadraticError | If the objective contains higher-order (non-quadratic) terms. |
ModelNotUnconstrainedError | If the model contains any constraints. |
ModelSenseNotMinimizeError | If the model's optimization sense is 'maximize'. |
ModelVtypeError | If the model contains different vtypes or vtypes other than binary and spin. |

to_aq(
qubo: NDArray,
*,
offset: float | None = ...,
variable_names: list[str] | None = ...,
name: str | None = ...,

) -> Model
Convert a dense QUBO matrix into a symbolic Model.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
qubo | NDArray | A square 2D NumPy array representing the QUBO matrix. Diagonal entries correspond to linear coefficients; off-diagonal entries represent pairwise quadratic terms. | required |
name | str | An optional name to assign to the resulting model. | ... |
vtype | Vtype | The variable type to assign to all variables (e.g. Binary, Spin). | ... |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Model | A symbolic model representing the given QUBO structure. |
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TranslationError | Generally if the translation fails. Might be specified by the following error. |
VariableNamesError | If a list of variable names is provided but contains duplicates or has an incorrect length. |
