VariationalForm
class VariationalForm
Base class for VariationalForms.
This method should initialize the module and use an exception if a component of the module is not available.
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
Methods
construct_circuit
abstract VariationalForm.construct_circuit(parameters, q=None)
Construct the variational form, given its parameters.
Parameters
- parameters (
Union[List[float],ndarray]) – circuit parameters. - q (
Optional[QuantumRegister]) – Quantum Register for the circuit.
Returns
A quantum circuit.
Return type
get_entangler_map
static VariationalForm.get_entangler_map(map_type, num_qubits, offset=0)
returns entangler map
validate_entangler_map
static VariationalForm.validate_entangler_map(entangler_map, num_qubits)
validate entangler map
