Introduction to the basic workflow
by: Kevin Broløs & Meera Machado
At Abzu
, we put the scientific method at the core of our workflow, and use this approach to understand data, generate hypotheses and validate the findings against the actual observations.
The scientific method can be summed up in short with a diagram like the one below:
In summary, using Feyn
and the QLattice
would look something like this:
Scientific Method | In practice |
---|---|
Formulation of question | Determine what your research question is. |
Hypothesise | Use the QLattice to generate possible hypotheses that answer your question and fit graphs. |
Prediction | Determine how your graph predicts existing data and plot what the graph tells you about the things you haven't seen before. |
Testing | Take your hypothesis to the lab, real life, or validate it on a holdout set, depending on your needs and capabilities. |
Analysis | Accept or reject a hypothesis based on the graphs you select and the results you get from your experiments. |
