CircuitQFI
class qiskit.opflow.gradients.CircuitQFI
Bases: ConverterBase
Deprecated: Circuit to Quantum Fisher Information operator converter.
Converter for changing parameterized circuits into operators whose evaluation yields Quantum Fisher Information metric tensor with respect to the given circuit parameters
This is distinct from DerivativeBase converters which take gradients of composite operators and handle things like differentiating combo_fn’s and enforcing product rules when operator coefficients are parameterized.
CircuitQFI - uses quantum techniques to get the QFI of circuits DerivativeBase - uses classical techniques to differentiate opflow data structures
The class qiskit.opflow.gradients.circuit_qfis.circuit_qfi.CircuitQFI is deprecated as of qiskit-terra 0.24.0. It will be removed in the Qiskit 1.0 release. For code migration guidelines, visit https://qisk.it/opflow_migration(opens in a new tab).
Methods
convert
abstract convert(operator, params)
Parameters
- operator (OperatorBase) – The operator corresponding to the quantum state for which we compute the QFI.
- params (ParameterExpression |ParameterVector |List(opens in a new tab)[ParameterExpression]) – The parameters with respect to which we are computing the QFI.
Returns
An operator whose evaluation yields the QFI metric tensor.
Raises
ValueError(opens in a new tab) – If params contains a parameter not present in operator.
Return type
