qiskit.circuit.Parameter
class Parameter(name)
Parameter Class for variable parameters.
Create a new named Parameter.
Parameters
name (str) – name of the Parameter, used for visual representation. This can be any unicode string, e.g. “ϕ”.
__init__
__init__(name)
Create a new named Parameter.
Parameters
name (str) – name of the Parameter, used for visual representation. This can be any unicode string, e.g. “ϕ”.
Methods
__init__(name) | Create a new named Parameter. |
assign(parameter, value) | Assign one parameter to a value, which can either be numeric or another parameter expression. |
bind(parameter_values) | Binds the provided set of parameters to their corresponding values. |
conjugate() | Return the conjugate, which is the ParameterExpression itself, since it is real. |
subs(parameter_map) | Substitute self with the corresponding parameter in parameter_map. |
Attributes
name | Returns the name of the Parameter. |
parameters | Returns a set of the unbound Parameters in the expression. |
assign
assign(parameter, value)
Assign one parameter to a value, which can either be numeric or another parameter expression.
Parameters
- parameter (Parameter) – A parameter in this expression whose value will be updated.
- value (
Union[ParameterExpression,float,int]) – The new value to bind to.
Return type
ParameterExpression
Returns
A new expression parameterized by any parameters which were not bound by assignment.
bind
bind(parameter_values)
Binds the provided set of parameters to their corresponding values.
Parameters
parameter_values (Dict) – Mapping of Parameter instances to the numeric value to which they will be bound.
Raises
-
CircuitError –
- If parameter_values contains Parameters outside those in self. - If a non-numeric value is passed in parameter_values.
-
ZeroDivisionError –
- If binding the provided values requires division by zero.
Return type
ParameterExpression
Returns
A new expression parameterized by any parameters which were not bound by parameter_values.
conjugate
conjugate()
Return the conjugate, which is the ParameterExpression itself, since it is real.
Return type
ParameterExpression
name
Returns the name of the Parameter.
parameters
Returns a set of the unbound Parameters in the expression.
Return type
Set
subs
subs(parameter_map)
Substitute self with the corresponding parameter in parameter_map.
