LayerError

class LayerError(circuit, qubits, error=None)

GitHub

The error channel (in Pauli-Lindblad format) of a single layer of instructions.

Parameters

circuit (QuantumCircuit) – A circuit whose noise has been learnt.

error (Optional[PauliLindbladError]) – The Pauli Lindblad error channel affecting the circuit, or None if the error channel is either unknown or explicitly disabled.

Raises

ValueError – If circuit, qubits, and error have mismatching number of qubits.

Methods

draw_map

draw_map(embedding, colorscale='Bluered', color_no_data='lightgray', color_out_of_scale='lightgreen', num_edge_segments=16, edge_width=4, height=500, highest_rate=None, background_color='white', radius=0.25, width=800)

GitHub

Draw a map view of a this layer error.

Parameters

embedding (Union[Embedding, BackendV2]) – An Embedding object containing the coordinates and coupling map to draw the layer error on, or a backend to generate an Embedding for.
colorscale (str) – The colorscale used to show the rates of this layer error.
color_no_data (str) – The color used for qubits and edges for which no data is available.
color_out_of_scale (str) – The color used for rates with value greater than highest_rate.
num_edge_segments (int) – The number of equal-sized segments that edges are made of.
edge_width (float) – The line width of the edges in pixels.
height (int) – The height of the returned figure.
highest_rate (Optional[float]) – The highest rate, used to normalize all other rates before choosing their colors. If None, it defaults to the highest value found in the layer_error.
background_color (str) – The background color.
radius (float) – The radius of the pie charts representing the qubits.
width (int) – The width of the returned figure.

draw_swarm

draw_swarm(num_bodies=None, max_rate=None, min_rate=None, connected=None, colors=None, num_bins=None, opacities=0.4, names=None, x_coo=None, marker_size=None, height=500, width=800)

GitHub

Draw a swarm plot of the rates in this layer error.

This function plots the rates along a vertical axes, offsetting the rates along the x axis so that they do not overlap with each other.

Note

To draw multiple layer errors at once, consider calling draw_layer_errors_swarm() directly.

Parameters

num_bodies (Optional[int]) – The weight of the generators to include in the plot, or None if all the generators should be included.
max_rate (Optional[float]) – The largest rate to include in the plot, or None if no upper limit should be set.
min_rate (Optional[float]) – The smallest rate to include in the plot, or None if no lower limit should be set.
connected (Union[list[Pauli], list[str], None]) – A list of generators whose markers are to be connected by lines.
colors (Optional[list[str]]) – A list of colors for the markers in the plot, or None if these colors are to be chosen automatically.
num_bins (Optional[int]) – The number of bins to place the rates into when calculating the x-axis offsets.
opacities (Union[float, list[float]]) – A list of opacities for the markers.
names (Optional[list[str]]) – The names of the various layers as displayed in the legend. If None, default names are assigned based on the layers’ position inside the layer_errors list.
x_coo (Optional[list[float]]) – The x-axis coordinates of the vertical axes that the markers are drawn around, or None if these axes should be placed at regular intervals.
marker_size (Optional[float]) – The size of the marker in the plot.
height (int) – The height of the returned figure.
width (int) – The width of the returned figure.
