add_data
add_data(new_backend_result, rerun_fit=True)
Add a new result. Re calculate fit
Parameters
- new_backend_result (list) – list of qv results
- rerun_fit (bool) – re calculate the means and fit the result
Raises
QiskitError – If the ideal distribution isn’t loaded yet
Additional information:
Assumes that ‘result’ was executed is the output of circuits generated by qv_circuits,
add_statevectors
add_statevectors(new_statevector_result)
Add the ideal results and convert to the heavy outputs.
Assume the result is from ‘statevector_simulator’
Parameters
new_statevector_result (list) – ideal results
Raises
QiskitError – If the result has already been added for the circuit
calc_confidence_level
calc_confidence_level(z_value)
Calculate confidence level using z value.
Accumulative probability for standard normal distribution in [-z, +infinity] is 1/2 (1 + erf(z/sqrt(2))), where z = (X - mu)/sigma = (hmean - 2/3)/sigma
Parameters
z_value (float) – z value in in standard normal distibution.
Returns
confidence level in decimal (not percentage).
Return type
float
calc_data
calc_data()
Make a count dictionary for each unique circuit from all the results.
Calculate the heavy output probability.
Additional information:
Assumes that ‘result’ was executed is the output of circuits generated by qv_circuits,
calc_statistics
calc_statistics()
Convert the heavy outputs in the different trials into mean and error for plotting.
Here we assume the error is due to a binomial distribution. Error (standard deviation) for binomial distribution is sqrt(np(1-p)), where n is the number of trials (self._ntrials) and p is the success probability (self._ydata[0][depthidx]/self._ntrials).
calc_z_value
calc_z_value(mean, sigma)
Calculate z value using mean and sigma.
Parameters
- mean (float) – mean
- sigma (float) – standard deviation
Returns
z_value in standard normal distibution.
Return type
float
depths
Return depth list.
heavy_output_counts
Return the number of heavy output counts as measured.
heavy_output_prob_ideal
Return the heavy output probability ideally.
heavy_outputs
Return the ideal heavy outputs dictionary.
