qiskit.pulse.builder.build
build(backend=None, schedule=None, name=None, default_alignment='left', default_transpiler_settings=None, default_circuit_scheduler_settings=None)
Create a context manager for launching the imperative pulse builder DSL.
To enter a building context and starting building a pulse program:
from qiskit import execute, pulse
from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import FakeOpenPulse2Q
backend = FakeOpenPulse2Q()
d0 = pulse.DriveChannel(0)
with pulse.build() as pulse_prog:
pulse.play(pulse.Constant(100, 0.5), d0)
While the output program pulse_prog
cannot be executed as we are using a mock backend. If a real backend is being used, executing the program is done with:
qiskit.execute(pulse_prog, backend)
Parameters
- backend (Backend) – A Qiskit backend. If not supplied certain builder functionality will be unavailable.
- schedule (ScheduleBlock | None) – A pulse
ScheduleBlock
in which your pulse program will be built. - name (str | None) – Name of pulse program to be built.
- default_alignment (str | AlignmentKind | None) – Default scheduling alignment for builder. One of
left
,right
,sequential
or an alignment context. - default_transpiler_settings (Dict[str, Any] | None) – Default settings for the transpiler.
- default_circuit_scheduler_settings (Dict[str, Any] | None) – Default settings for the circuit to pulse scheduler.
Returns
A new builder context which has the active builder initialized.
Return type
AbstractContextManager[ScheduleBlock]
