qiskit.aqua.components.initial_states.Zero

class Zero(num_qubits)

GitHub

The zero (null/vacuum) state.

This is suitable for those situations in which the all-zeros state is the desired state. This is the case for a vacuum state in physics or chemistry

Parameters

num_qubits (int) – Number of qubits, has a minimum value of 1.

__init__

__init__(num_qubits)

Parameters

num_qubits (int) – Number of qubits, has a minimum value of 1.


Methods

__init__(num_qubits)type num_qubitsint
construct_circuit([mode, register])Construct the statevector of desired initial state.

Attributes

bitstr

construct_circuit

construct_circuit(mode='circuit', register=None)

Construct the statevector of desired initial state.

Parameters

  • mode – vector or circuit. The vector mode produces the vector. While the circuit constructs the quantum circuit corresponding that vector.
  • register – qubits for circuit construction.

Returns

statevector.

Return type

QuantumCircuit or numpy.ndarray

Raises

AquaError – when mode is not ‘vector’ or ‘circuit’.
