Piecewise-linearly-controlled Pauli rotations.

For a piecewise linear (not necessarily continuous) function f(x)f(x), which is defined through breakpoints, slopes and offsets as follows. Suppose the breakpoints (x0,...,xJ)(x_0, ..., x_J) are a subset of [0,2n1][0, 2^n-1], where nn is the number of state qubits. Further on, denote the corresponding slopes and offsets by aja_j and bjb_j respectively. Then f(x) is defined as:

f(x)={0,x<x0aj(xxj)+bj,xjx<xj+1\begin{split}f(x) = \begin{cases} 0, x < x_0 \\ a_j (x - x_j) + b_j, x_j \leq x < x_{j+1} \end{cases}\end{split}

where we implicitly assume xJ+1=2nx_{J+1} = 2^n.

Construct piecewise-linearly-controlled Pauli rotations.

Parameters

  • num_state_qubits (Optional[int]) – The number of qubits representing the state.
  • breakpoints (Optional[List[int]]) – The breakpoints to define the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to [0].
  • slopes (Optional[List[float]]) – The slopes for different segments of the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to [1].
  • offsets (Optional[List[float]]) – The offsets for different segments of the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to [0].
  • basis (str) – The type of Pauli rotation ('X', 'Y', 'Z').
  • name (str) – The name of the circuit.

Methods Defined Here

Return type

List[Clbit]

contains_zero_breakpoint

Whether 0 is the first breakpoint.

Return type

data

extension_lib

Default value: 'include "qelib1.inc";'

global_phase

Return the global phase of the circuit in radians.

mapped_slopes

The slopes mapped to the internal representation.

Return type

List[float]

Returns

The mapped slopes.

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_ancilla_qubits

The minimum number of ancilla qubits in the circuit.

Return type

int

Returns

The minimal number of ancillas required.

num_ancillas

Return the number of ancilla qubits.

Return type

int

num_clbits

Return number of classical bits.

Return type

int

num_parameters

Return type

int

num_qubits

Return type

int

num_state_qubits

Return type

int

Returns

The number of state qubits.

offsets

The breakpoints of the piecewise linear function.

The function is linear in the intervals [point_i, point_{i+1}] where the last point implicitly is 2**(num_state_qubits + 1).

Return type

List[float]

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
