Snapshot
class Snapshot(label, snapshot_type='statevector', name=None)
Bases: qiskit.pulse.instructions.instruction.Instruction
An instruction targeted for simulators, to capture a moment in the simulation.
Create new snapshot.
Parameters
- label (
str) – Snapshot label which is used to identify the snapshot in the output. - snapshot_type (
str) – Type of snapshot, e.g., “state” (take a snapshot of the quantum state). The types of snapshots offered are defined by the simulator used. - name (
Optional[str]) – Snapshot name which defaults tolabel. This parameter is only for display purposes and is not taken into account during comparison.
Methods
append
Snapshot.append(schedule, name=None)
Return a new Schedule with schedule inserted at the maximum time over all channels shared between self and schedule.
Parameters
- schedule (Union['Schedule', 'Instruction']) – Schedule or instruction to be appended
- name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the new schedule. Defaults to name of self
Returns
A new schedule with schedule a this instruction at t=0.
Return type
ch_duration
Snapshot.ch_duration(*channels)
Return duration of the supplied channels in this Instruction.
Parameters
*channels – Supplied channels
Return type
int
ch_start_time
Snapshot.ch_start_time(*channels)
Return minimum start time for supplied channels.
Parameters
*channels – Supplied channels
Return type
int
ch_stop_time
Snapshot.ch_stop_time(*channels)
Return maximum start time for supplied channels.
Parameters
*channels – Supplied channels
Return type
int
draw
Snapshot.draw(dt=1, style=None, filename=None, interp_method=None, scale=1, plot_all=False, plot_range=None, interactive=False, table=True, label=False, framechange=True, channels=None)
Plot the instruction.
Parameters
- dt (
float) – Time interval of samples - style (Optional[SchedStyle]) – A style sheet to configure plot appearance
- filename (
Optional[str]) – Name required to save pulse image - interp_method (
Optional[Callable]) – A function for interpolation - scale (
float) – Relative visual scaling of waveform amplitudes - plot_all (
bool) – Plot empty channels - plot_range (
Optional[Tuple[float]]) – A tuple of time range to plot - interactive (
bool) – When set true show the circuit in a new window (this depends on the matplotlib backend being used supporting this) - table (
bool) – Draw event table for supported instructions - label (
bool) – Label individual instructions - framechange (
bool) – Add framechange indicators - channels (
Optional[List[Channel]]) – A list of channel names to plot
Returns
A matplotlib figure object of the pulse schedule
Return type
matplotlib.figure
insert
Snapshot.insert(start_time, schedule, name=None)
Return a new Schedule with schedule inserted within self at start_time.
Parameters
- start_time (
int) – Time to insert the schedule schedule - schedule (Union['Schedule', 'Instruction']) – Schedule or instruction to insert
- name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the new schedule. Defaults to name of self
Returns
A new schedule with schedule inserted with this instruction at t=0.
Return type
is_parameterized
Snapshot.is_parameterized()
Return True iff the instruction is parameterized.
Return type
bool
shift
Snapshot.shift(time, name=None)
Return a new schedule shifted forward by time.
Parameters
- time (
int) – Time to shift by - name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the new schedule. Defaults to name of self
Returns
The shifted schedule.
