qiskit.ignis.characterization.ampcal_1Q_circuits

ampcal_1Q_circuits(max_reps, qubits)

Generates circuit for measuring the amplitude error of the single qubit gates

The U2 gate is repeatedly applied (in groups of 2) and we look at the population of the qubit in the xy axis (amplitude erorr amplification sequence)

Y90-(Y90-Y90)^n

Parameters

• max_reps (int) – the maximum number of repetitions. Circuits will increment by 1 rep up to max_rep
• qubits (list) – a list of integers indices of the qubits to perform the calibration on

Returns

A tuple of the form (circuits, xdata) where

circuits is a list of QuantumCircuit and xdata is a list of gate repetitions (number of u2 gates)

Return type

tuple
