Acquire

class qiskit.pulse.instructions.Acquire(duration, channel, mem_slot=None, reg_slot=None, kernel=None, discriminator=None, name=None)

GitHub

Bases: Instruction

The Acquire instruction is used to trigger the ADC associated with a particular qubit; e.g. instantiated with AcquireChannel(0), the Acquire command will trigger data collection for the channel associated with qubit 0 readout. This instruction also provides acquisition metadata:

  • the number of cycles during which to acquire (in terms of dt),
  • the register slot to store classified, intermediary readout results,
  • the memory slot to return classified results,
  • the kernel to integrate raw data for each shot, and
  • the discriminator to classify kerneled IQ points.

Create a new Acquire instruction.

Parameters

  • duration (int |ParameterExpression) – Length of time to acquire data in terms of dt.
  • channel (AcquireChannel) – The channel that will acquire data.
  • mem_slot (MemorySlot | None) – The classical memory slot in which to store the classified readout result.
  • reg_slot (RegisterSlot | None) – The fast-access register slot in which to store the classified readout result for fast feedback.
  • kernel (Kernel | None) – A Kernel for integrating raw data.
  • discriminator (Discriminator | None) – A Discriminator for discriminating kerneled IQ data into 0/1 results.
  • name (str | None) – Name of the instruction for display purposes.

Attributes

acquire

Acquire channel to acquire data. The AcquireChannel index maps trivially to qubit index.

channel

Return the Channel that this instruction is scheduled on.

channels

Returns the channels that this schedule uses.

discriminator

Return discrimination settings.

duration

Duration of this instruction.

id

Unique identifier for this instruction.

instructions

Iterable for getting instructions from Schedule tree.

kernel

Return kernel settings.

mem_slot

The classical memory slot which will store the classified readout result.

name

Name of this instruction.

operands

Return instruction operands.

parameters

Parameters which determine the instruction behavior.

reg_slot

The fast-access register slot which will store the classified readout result for fast-feedback computation.

start_time

Relative begin time of this instruction.

stop_time

Relative end time of this instruction.
