gaussian_deriv(duration, amp, sigma, name=None)

Generates unnormalized gaussian derivative Waveform.

For $A=$ amp and $\sigma=$ sigma applies the midpoint sampling strategy to generate a discrete pulse sampled from the continuous function:

f(x) = A\frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma^2}\exp\left(\left(\frac{x - \mu}{2\sigma}\right)^2 \right)

i.e. the derivative of the Gaussian function, with center $\mu=$ duration/2.

Parameters

duration (int) – Duration of pulse. Must be greater than zero.
amp (complex) – Pulse amplitude of corresponding Gaussian at the pulse center (duration/2).
sigma (float) – Width (standard deviation) of pulse.
name (Optional[str]) – Name of pulse.

Return type

Waveform
