Benchmark Library for QICS

This repository includes benchmark libraries for semidefinite programs, quantum relative entropy programs, and conic programs involving epigraphs of noncommutative perspective functions, which were used to evaluate the performance of QICS.

To run QICS against these problems, you should first install QICS from pip by calling

pip install qics

then clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/kerry-he/qics-benchmarks.git

You can then use the run_benchmarks.py script to run QICS against all problems in a given folder. For example, the following lines will run QICS against the library of quantum relative entropy programs.

cd qics-benchmarks
python run_benchmarks.py -d data/qrep/qics

This outputs a CSV file named qics_benchmarks_*.csv into the working directory which contains a summary of the solver outputs from QICS.
