DynamicCircuitInstructionDurations
class DynamicCircuitInstructionDurations(instruction_durations=None, dt=None, enable_patching=True)
For dynamic circuits the IBM Qiskit backend currently reports instruction durations that differ compared with those required for the legacy Qobj-based path. For now we use this class to report updated InstructionDurations. TODO: This would be mitigated by a specialized Backend/Target for dynamic circuit backends.
Dynamic circuit instruction durations.
Attributes
MEASURE_PATCH_CYCLES
Default value: 160
MEASURE_PATCH_ODD_OFFSET
Default value: 64
Methods
from_backend
classmethod from_backend(backend)
Construct a DynamicInstructionDurations object from the backend. :type backend: Backend :param backend: backend from which durations (gate lengths) and dt are extracted.
Returns
The InstructionDurations constructed from backend.
Return type
DynamicInstructionDurations
from_target
classmethod from_target(target)
Construct a DynamicInstructionDurations object from the target. :type target: Target :param target: target from which durations (gate lengths) and dt are extracted.
Returns
The InstructionDurations constructed from backend.
Return type
DynamicInstructionDurations
get
get(inst, qubits, unit='dt', parameters=None)
Get the duration of the instruction with the name, qubits, and parameters.
Some instructions may have a parameter dependent duration.
Parameters
- inst (str | qiskit.circuit.Instruction) – An instruction or its name to be queried.
- qubits (int | list[int]) – Qubit indices that the instruction acts on.
- unit (str) – The unit of duration to be returned. It must be ‘s’ or ‘dt’.
- parameters (list[float] | None) – The value of the parameters of the desired instruction.
Returns
The duration of the instruction on the qubits.
Return type
float|int
Raises
TranspilerError – No duration is defined for the instruction.
units_used
units_used()
Get the set of all units used in this instruction durations.
Return type
set[str]
Returns
Set of units used in this instruction durations.
update
update(inst_durations, dt=None)
Update self with inst_durations (inst_durations overwrite self). Overrides the default durations for certain hardcoded instructions.
Parameters
- inst_durations (
Union[List[Tuple[str,Optional[Iterable[int]],float,Optional[Iterable[float]],str]],List[Tuple[str,Optional[Iterable[int]],float,Optional[Iterable[float]]]],List[Tuple[str,Optional[Iterable[int]],float,str]],List[Tuple[str,Optional[Iterable[int]],float]],InstructionDurations,None]) – Instruction durations to be merged into self (overwriting self). - dt (
Optional[float]) – Sampling duration in seconds of the target backend.
Returns
The updated InstructionDurations.
Return type
InstructionDurations
Raises
TranspilerError – If the format of instruction_durations is invalid.
