The Pauli Expansion circuit.

The Pauli Expansion circuit is a data encoding circuit that transforms input data x⃗∈Rn\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^n, where n is the feature_dimension, as

UΦ(x⃗)=exp⁡(i∑S∈IϕS(x⃗)∏i∈SPi).U_{\Phi(\vec{x})}=\exp\left(i\sum_{S \in \mathcal{I}} \phi_S(\vec{x})\prod_{i\in S} P_i\right).

Here, SS is a set of qubit indices that describes the connections in the feature map, I\mathcal{I} is a set containing all these index sets, and Pi∈{I,X,Y,Z}P_i \in \{I, X, Y, Z\}. Per default the data-mapping ϕS\phi_S is

ϕS(x⃗)={xi if S={i}∏j∈S(π−xj) if ∣S∣>1.\phi_S(\vec{x}) = \begin{cases} x_i \text{ if } S = \{i\} \\ \prod_{j \in S} (\pi - x_j) \text{ if } |S| > 1 \end{cases}.

The possible connections can be set using the entanglement and paulis arguments. For example, for single-qubit ZZ rotations and two-qubit YYYY interactions between all qubit pairs, we can set:

feature_map = PauliFeatureMap(..., paulis=["Z", "YY"], entanglement="full")

which will produce blocks of the form

┌───┐┌──────────────┐┌──────────┐                                             ┌───────────┐

└───┘└──────────────┘└──────────┘└───┘└─────────────────────────────────┘└───┘└───────────┘

The circuit contains reps repetitions of this transformation.

Please refer to ZFeatureMap for the case of single-qubit Pauli-ZZ rotations and to ZZFeatureMap for the single- and two-qubit Pauli-ZZ rotations.

Create a new Pauli expansion circuit.

Parameters

  • feature_dimension (int | None) – Number of qubits in the circuit.
  • reps (int) – The number of repeated circuits.
  • entanglement (str |List[List[int]] | Callable[[int], List[int]]) – Specifies the entanglement structure. Refer to NLocal for detail.
  • alpha (float) – The Pauli rotation factor, multiplicative to the pauli rotations
  • paulis (List[str] | None) – A list of strings for to-be-used paulis. If None are provided, ['Z', 'ZZ'] will be used.
  • data_map_func (Callable[[ndarray], float] | None) – A mapping function for data x which can be supplied to override the default mapping from self_product().

layout

Return any associated layout information about the circuit

This attribute contains an optional TranspileLayout object. This is typically set on the output from transpile() or PassManager.run() to retain information about the permutations caused on the input circuit by transpilation.

There are two types of permutations caused by the transpile() function, an initial layout which permutes the qubits based on the selected physical qubits on the Target, and a final layout which is an output permutation caused by SwapGates inserted during routing.

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.
