Project Description:

A brief description of your project (1-2 paragraphs).
DBNSL's main goal is to obtain P(G|D), that means obtaining a direct acyclic graph (DAG) given a dataset consisiting of at least two events or moments in time. This solution can be applied to solve problems in different fields, like finance, biology and ecology to name a few. This kind of problem is super-exponential (O(n! 2^(n!/(2!(n-2)!)))) [1] due to a search over all DAGs possible. I reviewed different approaches, and I decided to implement three different approaches:

Hybrid network = (classic) encoder + (quantum) circuit.
Variational circuit
Quantum circuit structure learning

The first step is to implement these approaches with a tiny dummy dataset of 4 variables (8 nodes) and then, implement them with a real datasets of microarray studies on cell cycle regulated genes on braket.
