class Parameter(name)

GitHub

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”.

Attributes

nameReturns the name of the Parameter.
parametersReturns a set of the unbound Parameters in the expression.

arccos

arccos()

Arccos of a ParameterExpression

arcsin

arcsin()

Arcsin of a ParameterExpression

arctan

arctan()

Arctan of a ParameterExpression

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]) – 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.

Return type

ParameterExpression

cos

cos()

gradient

gradient(param)

Get the derivative of a parameter expression w.r.t. a specified parameter expression.

Parameters

param (Parameter) – Parameter w.r.t. which we want to take the derivative

Return type

Union[ParameterExpression, float]

Returns

ParameterExpression representing the gradient of param_expr w.r.t. param

is_real

is_real()

Return whether the expression is real

log

log()

name

Returns the name of the Parameter.

parameters

Returns a set of the unbound Parameters in the expression.

Return type
