ParameterExpression
class ParameterExpression(symbol_map, expr)
Bases: object
ParameterExpression class to enable creating expressions of Parameters.
Create a new ParameterExpression.
Not intended to be called directly, but to be instantiated via operations on other Parameter or ParameterExpression objects.
Parameters
- symbol_map (Dict[Parameter, [ParameterExpression, float, or int]]) – Mapping of
Parameterinstances to thesympy.Symbolserving as their placeholder in expr. - expr (sympy.Expr) – Expression of
sympy.Symbols.
Methods
arccos
ParameterExpression.arccos()
Arccos of a ParameterExpression
arcsin
ParameterExpression.arcsin()
Arcsin of a ParameterExpression
arctan
ParameterExpression.arctan()
Arctan of a ParameterExpression
assign
ParameterExpression.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
ParameterExpression.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
ParameterExpression.conjugate()
Return the conjugate.
Return type
ParameterExpression
cos
ParameterExpression.cos()
Cosine of a ParameterExpression
exp
ParameterExpression.exp()
Exponential of a ParameterExpression
gradient
ParameterExpression.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, complex]
Returns
ParameterExpression representing the gradient of param_expr w.r.t. param or complex or float number
is_real
ParameterExpression.is_real()
Return whether the expression is real
log
ParameterExpression.log()
Logarithm of a ParameterExpression
sin
ParameterExpression.sin()
Sine of a ParameterExpression
subs
ParameterExpression.subs(parameter_map)
Returns a new Expression with replacement Parameters.
Parameters
parameter_map (Dict) – Mapping from Parameters in self to the ParameterExpression instances with which they should be replaced.
Raises
CircuitError –
- If parameter_map contains Parameters outside those in self. - If the replacement Parameters in parameter_map would result in a name conflict in the generated expression.
Return type
ParameterExpression
Returns
A new expression with the specified parameters replaced.
sympify
ParameterExpression.sympify()
Return symbolic expression as a raw Sympy or Symengine object.
Symengine is used preferentially; if both are available, the result will always be a symengine object. Symengine is a separate library but has integration with Sympy.
This is for interoperability only. Qiskit will not accept or work with raw Sympy or Symegine expressions in its parameters, because they do not contain the tracking information used in circuit-parameter binding and assignment.
tan
ParameterExpression.tan()
Tangent of a ParameterExpression
Attributes
parameters
Returns a set of the unbound Parameters in the expression.
Return type
Set
