qiskit.pulse.instructions.Play
class Play(pulse, channel, name=None)
This instruction is responsible for applying a pulse on a channel.
The pulse specifies the exact time dynamics of the output signal envelope for a limited time. The output is modulated by a phase and frequency which are controlled by separate instructions. The pulse duration must be fixed, and is implicitly given in terms of the cycle time, dt, of the backend.
Create a new pulse instruction.
Parameters
- pulse (
Pulse) – A pulse waveform description, such asWaveform. - channel (
PulseChannel) – The channel to which the pulse is applied. - name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the instruction for display purposes. Defaults topulse.name.
Raises
PulseError – If pulse is not a Pulse type.
__init__
__init__(pulse, channel, name=None)
Create a new pulse instruction.
Parameters
- pulse (
Pulse) – A pulse waveform description, such asWaveform. - channel (
PulseChannel) – The channel to which the pulse is applied. - name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the instruction for display purposes. Defaults topulse.name.
Raises
PulseError – If pulse is not a Pulse type.
