qiskit.ignis.mitigation.MeasurementFilter

__init__(cal_matrix, state_labels)

Initialize a measurement error mitigation filter using the cal_matrix from a measurement calibration fitter.

Parameters

• cal_matrix (matrix) – the calibration matrix for applying the correction
• state_labels (list) – the states for the ordering of the cal matrix

apply(raw_data, method='least_squares')

Apply the calibration matrix to results.

Parameters

• raw_data (dict or list) –

  The data to be corrected. Can be in a number of forms:

  Form 1: a counts dictionary from results.get_counts

  Form 2: a list of counts of length==len(state_labels)

  Form 3: a list of counts of length==M*len(state_labels) where M is an integer (e.g. for use with the tomography data)

  Form 4: a qiskit Result

• method (str) –

  fitting method. If None, then least_squares is used.

  pseudo_inverse: direct inversion of the A matrix

  least_squares: constrained to have physical probabilities

Returns

The corrected data in the same form as raw_data

Return type

dict or list

Raises

QiskitError – if raw_data is not an integer multiple of the number of calibrated states.

Return cal_matrix.

return the state label ordering of the cal matrix
