flow-vqe

flow-vqe is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xi-zhao/OpenQuantum. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,041 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A small quantum-optimization experiment that trains parameters for a low-energy state of a user-provided Hamiltonian, a mathematical description of a quantum system's energy. It supports 2–4 qubits and compares the trained result with an exact energy and a random baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the flow training method on one small Hamiltonian, review the recomputed energy, and compare it with the exact ground-state energy and equal-budget random search.
Why use it?
It makes it possible to inspect how a bounded training run performs against clear reference values. The comparison does not establish global optimality or general performance across molecules.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

flow-vqe scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (core/statevector.py, mcp/bridge.py, mcp/contracts.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Flow-VQE 参数学习

原生 SDK 路径

本能力同时支持 Flow-VQE source / Torch / Zuko 的原生公开 API。用户需要 自定义 objective、分布、flow、训练数据与优化循环 时,由 Agent 在固定依赖环境中编写和运行任务代码,不限于下文便捷 Tool 的预设模型。

使用 node scripts/sdk-access.mjs inspect flow-vqe 定位环境,按完整 SDK 工作流执行。模块导航:flow_vqe、optimization_baselines、ansatz、torch、zuko;导航不是 API 白名单。

完整 SDK setup 另取固定版本上游源码,论文程序的预置 CLI 不限制用户用公开函数自定义任务。旧 upstream/ 仅供原有便捷 Tool 的稳定实现。

SciPy 固定为 1.17.1,以避开原 1.15.2 PROPACK 扩展在当前 macOS 的加载失败;这是记录在依赖锁中的兼容性调整。

原生程序导入库前,按环境定位器的 bootstrap 执行启动兼容处理:校验完整固定源码后加入模块搜索路径,保留 flow_vqe、ansatz 和 optimization_baselines 的上游模块关系。这不限制公开 API,也不替换数值算法。

下文关于模型、门集、输入与预算的限制描述便捷 Tool 的合同;原生 SDK 另受上游版本、可选依赖、宿主资源与用户授权约束。已禁用或被拒绝的动作不能借代码路径绕过。执行状态和科研验收分别报告。

Agent 经 Harness 调用 flow_vqe_local 提供的 train_flow_vqe。本 Skill 负责选择和解释,不启动计算进程。

至少 2 个量子位;Pauli 最左字符是 q0,系数为同一能量单位。主计算以无矩阵 RY/CNOT 实振幅 ansatz 训练 flow 参数,返回重算能量及等评估预算的均匀随机搜索基线。量子位、Pauli 项、层数和训练次数由输入决定。当前处理单个 Hamiltonian,不推导跨分子泛化或全局最优。

独立参考使用 referenceMode=auto|required|skip:auto 按默认阈值选择参考,required 使用调用方资源尝试所请求规模,skip 跳过。未执行时 reference.status=not_run,参考值和差异为 null;尝试后失败会返回错误。

输入示例:

{
  "numQubits": 2,
  "terms": [
    {
      "pauli": "ZI",
      "coefficient": -1
    },
    {
      "pauli": "IX",
      "coefficient": -0.5
    }
  ],
  "epochs": 8,
  "batchSize": 8
}

调用前确认用户问题落在上述范围内;参数含糊且会改变物理结果时先澄清。接口不接受代码、路径、凭据或真实硬件任务。 计算 worker 默认不设置时间或输出大小上限;部署可配置资源预算,取消会终止本次计算进程组。连接层超时与硬件环境配置见资源配置。 计算前显式准备固定依赖;运行仍可能写 SDK 缓存,因此保留 workspace-write。工具未注册或连接已禁用时,检查设置中心;不要用通用执行工具绕过禁用。 依赖尚未准备时按仓库文档运行 npm run capability:paper-tools:setup;不要自行改版本或扩大输入边界来绕过失败。

所有结果保留完整输入、输入摘要、上游版本和依赖锁摘要。报告实际数值、物理假设、误差与限制; scientificValidation=not_evaluated,比较数据不构成中央科学验收。失败时说明真实原因,不补造数据。

来源与接入范围见 论文能力说明。

依赖准备

运行前执行 node scripts/setup-paper-tools.mjs flow-vqe。缺失、旧锁和已安装环境的处理见共同准备说明;Tool 不自动安装或升级依赖。

flow-vqe is a skill published in the GitHub repository xi-zhao/OpenQuantum (75 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,041 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-13.
