RYRZ
class RYRZ(num_qubits, depth=3, entangler_map=None, entanglement='full', initial_state=None, entanglement_gate='cz', skip_unentangled_qubits=False)
DEPRECATED. The RYRZ Variational Form.
The RYRZ trial wave function is layers of plus rotations with entanglements. When none of qubits are unentangled to other qubits, the number of optimizer parameters this form creates and uses is given by , where is the total number of qubits and is the depth of the circuit. Nonetheless, in some cases, if an entangler_map does not include all qubits, that is, some qubits are not entangled by other qubits. The number of parameters is reduced by where is the number of unentangled qubits. This is because adding more parameters to the unentangled qubits only introduce overhead without bringing any benefit; furthermore, theoretically, applying multiple Ry and Rz gates in a row can be reduced to a single Ry gate and one Rz gate with the summed rotation angles.
See RY for more detail on entangler_map and entanglement which apply here too but note RYRZ only supports ‘full’ and ‘linear’ values.
Parameters
- num_qubits (
int) – Number of qubits, has a minimum value of 1. - depth (
int) – Number of rotation layers, has a minimum value of 1. - entangler_map (
Optional[List[List[int]]]) – Describe the connectivity of qubits, each list pair describes [source, target], or None for as defined by entanglement. Note that the order is the list is the order of applying the two-qubit gate. - entanglement (
str) – (‘full’ | ‘linear’) overridden by ‘entangler_map` if its provided. ‘full’ is all-to-all entanglement, ‘linear’ is nearest-neighbor. - initial_state (
Optional[InitialState]) – An initial state object - entanglement_gate (
str) – (‘cz’ | ‘cx’) - skip_unentangled_qubits (
bool) – Skip the qubits not in the entangler_map
Attributes
num_parameters
Number of parameters of the variational form.
Returns
An integer indicating the number of parameters.
Return type
int
num_qubits
Number of qubits of the variational form.
Returns
An integer indicating the number of qubits.
Return type
int
parameter_bounds
Parameter bounds.
Returns
A list of pairs indicating the bounds, as (lower, upper). None indicates an unbounded parameter in the corresponding direction. If None is returned, problem is fully unbounded.
Return type
list
preferred_init_points
Return preferred init points.
If an initial state is provided then the variational form may provide back this set of parameters which when used on the variational form should result in the overall state being that defined by the initial state
setting
support_parameterized_circuit
Whether or not the sub-class support parameterized circuit.
Returns
indicate the sub-class support parameterized circuit
Return type
boolean
