qiskit.pulse.instructions.Snapshot
class Snapshot(label, snapshot_type='statevector', name=None)
An instruction targeted for simulators, to capture a moment in the simulation.
Create new snapshot.
Parameters
- label (
str) – Snapshot label which is used to identify the snapshot in the output. - snapshot_type (
str) – Type of snapshot, e.g., “state” (take a snapshot of the quantum state). The types of snapshots offered are defined by the simulator used. - name (
Optional[str]) – Snapshot name which defaults tolabel. This parameter is only for display purposes and is not taken into account during comparison.
Raises
PulseError – If snapshot label is invalid.
__init__
__init__(label, snapshot_type='statevector', name=None)
Create new snapshot.
Parameters
- label (
str) – Snapshot label which is used to identify the snapshot in the output. - snapshot_type (
str) – Type of snapshot, e.g., “state” (take a snapshot of the quantum state). The types of snapshots offered are defined by the simulator used. - name (
Optional[str]) – Snapshot name which defaults tolabel. This parameter is only for display purposes and is not taken into account during comparison.
Raises
PulseError – If snapshot label is invalid.
