The Pauli Expansion circuit.
The Pauli Expansion circuit is a data encoding circuit that transforms input data , where n is the feature_dimension
, as
Here, is a set of qubit indices that describes the connections in the feature map, is a set containing all these index sets, and . Per default the data-mapping is
The possible connections can be set using the entanglement
and paulis
arguments. For example, for single-qubit rotations and two-qubit interactions between all qubit pairs, we can set:
feature_map = PauliFeatureMap(..., paulis=["Z", "YY"], entanglement="full")
which will produce blocks of the form

Create a new Pauli expansion circuit.
The class qiskit.circuit.library.data_preparation.pauli_feature_map.PauliFeatureMap
is pending deprecation as of qiskit 1.3. It will be marked deprecated in a future release, and then removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Use the pauli_feature_map function as a replacement. Note that this will no longer return a BlueprintCircuit, but just a plain QuantumCircuit.
Parameters
- feature_dimension (Optional[int]) – Number of qubits in the circuit.
- reps (int) – The number of repeated circuits.
- entanglement (Union[str, Dict[int, List[Tuple[int]]], Callable[[int], Union[str, Dict[int, List[Tuple[int]]]]]]) – Specifies the entanglement structure. Can be a string (
'full'
,'linear'
,'reverse_linear'
,'circular'
or'sca'
) or can be a dictionary where the keys represent the number of qubits and the values are list of integer-pairs specifying the indices of qubits that are entangled with one another, for example:{1: [(0,), (2,)], 2: [(0,1), (2,0)]}
or can be aCallable[[int], Union[str | Dict[...]]]
to return an entanglement specific for a repetition - alpha (float) – The Pauli rotation factor, multiplicative to the pauli rotations
- paulis (Optional[List[str]]) – A list of strings for to-be-used paulis. If None are provided,
['Z', 'ZZ']
will be used. - data_map_func (Optional[Callable[[np.ndarray], float]]) – A mapping function for data x which can be supplied to override the default mapping from
self_product()
. - parameter_prefix (str) – The prefix used if default parameters are generated.

Attributes
alpha

s in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.

The entire Qiskit Pulse package is being deprecated and will be moved to the Qiskit Dynamics repository: https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-dynamics. Note that once removed, qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit.calibrations
will have no alternative in Qiskit.

a list-like object containing the CircuitInstruction
s for each instruction.

The total duration of the circuit, set by a scheduling transpiler pass. Its unit is specified by unit
.

is deprecated as of qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0.0.
entanglement
Get the entanglement strategy.
Returns
The entanglement strategy, see get_entangler_map()
for more detail on how the format is interpreted.
entanglement_blocks
The blocks in the entanglement layers.
Returns
The blocks in the entanglement layers.

instances
Default value: 195
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 SwapGate
s inserted during routing.
metadata
Arbitrary user-defined metadata for the circuit.
Qiskit will not examine the content of this mapping, but it will pass it through the transpiler and reattach it to the output, so you can track your own metadata.
num_ancillas
Return the number of ancilla qubits.
num_captured_vars
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as captured from an enclosing scope.
This is the length of the iter_captured_vars()
iterable. If this is non-zero, num_input_vars
must be zero.
num_clbits
Return number of classical bits.
num_declared_vars
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit that are declared by this circuit scope, excluding inputs or captures.
This is the length of the iter_declared_vars()
iterable.
num_input_vars
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as circuit inputs.
This is the length of the iter_input_vars()
iterable. If this is non-zero, num_captured_vars
must be zero.

The number of layers in the circuit.

This is the length of the iter_vars()
iterable.

This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.

List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in QuantumCircuit.data
.

Returns
A list of pairs indicating the bounds, as (lower, upper). None indicates an unbounded parameter in the corresponding direction. If None
is returned, problem is fully unbounded.
parameters
The parameters defined in the circuit.
This attribute returns the Parameter
objects in the circuit sorted alphabetically. Note that parameters instantiated with a ParameterVector
are still sorted numerically.
Examples
The snippet below shows that insertion order of parameters does not matter.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> a, b, elephant = Parameter("a"), Parameter("b"), Parameter("elephant")
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.rx(b, 0)
>>> circuit.rz(elephant, 0)
>>> circuit.ry(a, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters # sorted alphabetically!
ParameterView([Parameter(a), Parameter(b), Parameter(elephant)])
Bear in mind that alphabetical sorting might be unintuitive when it comes to numbers. The literal “10” comes before “2” in strict alphabetical sorting.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> angles = [Parameter("angle_1"), Parameter("angle_2"), Parameter("angle_10")]
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.u(*angles, 0)
>>> circuit.draw()
┌─────────────────────────────┐
q: ┤ U(angle_1,angle_2,angle_10) ├
└─────────────────────────────┘
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([Parameter(angle_1), Parameter(angle_10), Parameter(angle_2)])
To respect numerical sorting, a ParameterVector
can be used.
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter, ParameterVector
>>> x = ParameterVector("x", 12)
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> for x_i in x:
... circuit.rx(x_i, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([
ParameterVectorElement(x[0]), ParameterVectorElement(x[1]),
ParameterVectorElement(x[2]), ParameterVectorElement(x[3]),

The sorted Parameter
objects in the circuit.

is specified in.
