ApproximateCircuit
class ApproximateCircuit(num_qubits, name=None)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit, abc.ABC
A base class that represents an approximate circuit.
Parameters
- num_qubits (
int) – number of qubit this circuit will span. - name (
Optional[str]) – a name of the circuit.
Methods Defined Here
build
abstract ApproximateCircuit.build(thetas)
Constructs this circuit out of the parameters(thetas). Parameter values must be set before
constructing the circuit.
Parameters
thetas (ndarray) – a vector of parameters to be set in this circuit.
Return type
None
Attributes
ancillas
Returns a list of ancilla bits in the order that the registers were added.
Return type
List[AncillaQubit]
calibrations
Return calibration dictionary.
The custom pulse definition of a given gate is of the form
{‘gate_name’: {(qubits, params): schedule}}
Return type
dict
clbits
Returns a list of classical bits in the order that the registers were added.
Return type
List[Clbit]
data
Return the circuit data (instructions and context).
Returns
a list-like object containing the tuples for the circuit’s data.
Each tuple is in the format (instruction, qargs, cargs), where instruction is an Instruction (or subclass) object, qargs is a list of Qubit objects, and cargs is a list of Clbit objects.
Return type
QuantumCircuitData
extension_lib
Default value: 'include "qelib1.inc";'
global_phase
Return the global phase of the circuit in radians.
Return type
Union[ParameterExpression, float]
header
Default value: 'OPENQASM 2.0;'
instances
Default value: 9
metadata
The user provided metadata associated with the circuit
The metadata for the circuit is a user provided dict of metadata for the circuit. It will not be used to influence the execution or operation of the circuit, but it is expected to be passed between all transforms of the circuit (ie transpilation) and that providers will associate any circuit metadata with the results it returns from execution of that circuit.
Return type
dict
num_ancillas
Return the number of ancilla qubits.
Return type
int
num_clbits
Return number of classical bits.
Return type
int
num_parameters
Convenience function to get the number of parameter objects in the circuit.
Return type
int
num_qubits
Return number of qubits.
Return type
int

prefix
Default value: 'circuit'
qubits
Returns a list of quantum bits in the order that the registers were added.
Return type
List[Qubit]
thetas
The property is not implemented and raises a NotImplementedException exception.
Return type
ndarray
Returns
a vector of parameters of this circuit.
