DraperQFTAdder
class DraperQFTAdder(num_state_qubits, kind='fixed', name='DraperQFTAdder')
Bases: qiskit.circuit.library.arithmetic.adders.adder.Adder
A circuit that uses QFT to perform in-place addition on two qubit registers.
For registers with qubits, the QFT adder can perform addition modulo (with kind="fixed") or ordinary addition by adding a carry qubits (with kind="half").
As an example, a non-fixed_point QFT adder circuit that performs addition on two 2-qubit sized registers is as follows:
a_0: ─────────■──────■────────────────────────■────────────────
│ │ │
a_1: ─────────┼──────┼────────■──────■────────┼────────────────
┌──────┐ │P(π) │ │ │ │ ┌───────┐
b_0: ┤0 ├─■──────┼────────┼──────┼────────┼───────┤0 ├
│ │ │P(π/2) │P(π) │ │ │ │
b_1: ┤1 qft ├────────■────────■──────┼────────┼───────┤1 iqft ├
│ │ │P(π/2) │P(π/4) │ │
cout_0: ┤2 ├────────────────────────■────────■───────┤2 ├

Parameters
- num_state_qubits (
int) – The number of qubits in either input register for state or . The two input registers must have the same number of qubits. - kind (
str) – The kind of adder, can be'half'for a half adder or'fixed'for a fixed-sized adder. A half adder contains a carry-out to represent the most-significant bit, but the fixed-sized adder doesn’t and hence performs addition modulo2 ** num_state_qubits. - name (
str) – The name of the circuit object.
Raises
ValueError – If num_state_qubits is lower than 1.
Attributes

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
The number of parameter objects in the circuit.
Return type
int
num_qubits
Return number of qubits.
Return type
int
num_state_qubits
The number of state qubits, i.e. the number of bits in each input register.
Return type
int
Returns
The number of state qubits.
op_start_times
Return a list of operation start times.
This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.
Return type
List[int]
Returns
List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in QuantumCircuit.data.
Raises
AttributeError – When circuit is not scheduled.
parameters
The parameters defined in the circuit.
This attribute returns the Parameter objects in the circuit sorted alphabetically. Note that parameters instantiated with a ParameterVector are still sorted numerically.
Examples
The snippet below shows that insertion order of parameters does not matter.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> a, b, elephant = Parameter("a"), Parameter("b"), Parameter("elephant")
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.rx(b, 0)
>>> circuit.rz(elephant, 0)
>>> circuit.ry(a, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters # sorted alphabetically!
ParameterView([Parameter(a), Parameter(b), Parameter(elephant)])Bear in mind that alphabetical sorting might be unituitive when it comes to numbers. The literal “10” comes before “2” in strict alphabetical sorting.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> angles = [Parameter("angle_1"), Parameter("angle_2"), Parameter("angle_10")]
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.u(*angles, 0)
>>> circuit.draw()
┌─────────────────────────────┐
q: ┤ U(angle_1,angle_2,angle_10) ├
└─────────────────────────────┘
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([Parameter(angle_1), Parameter(angle_10), Parameter(angle_2)])To respect numerical sorting, a ParameterVector can be used.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter, ParameterVector
>>> x = ParameterVector("x", 12)
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> for x_i in x:
... circuit.rx(x_i, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([
ParameterVectorElement(x[0]), ParameterVectorElement(x[1]),
ParameterVectorElement(x[2]), ParameterVectorElement(x[3]),
..., ParameterVectorElement(x[11])
])Return type
ParameterView
Returns
The sorted Parameter objects in the circuit.
