Bases: FunctionalPauliRotations
Piecewise-linearly-controlled Pauli rotations.
For a piecewise linear (not necessarily continuous) function , which is defined through breakpoints, slopes and offsets as follows. Suppose the breakpoints are a subset of , where is the number of state qubits. Further on, denote the corresponding slopes and offsets by and respectively. Then f(x) is defined as:
where we implicitly assume .
Construct piecewise-linearly-controlled Pauli rotations.
Parameters
- num_state_qubits (int(opens in a new tab) | None) – The number of qubits representing the state.
- breakpoints (list(opens in a new tab)[int(opens in a new tab)] | None) – The breakpoints to define the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to
[0]. - slopes (list(opens in a new tab)[float(opens in a new tab)] | np.ndarray | None) – The slopes for different segments of the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to
[1]. - offsets (list(opens in a new tab)[float(opens in a new tab)] | np.ndarray | None) – The offsets for different segments of the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to
[0]. - basis (str(opens in a new tab)) – The type of Pauli rotation (
'X','Y','Z'). - name (str(opens in a new tab)) – The name of the circuit.
Attributes
ancillas
A list of AncillaQubits in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.
basis
The kind of Pauli rotation to be used.
Set the basis to ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘Z’ for controlled-X, -Y, or -Z rotations respectively.
Returns
The kind of Pauli rotation used in controlled rotation.
breakpoints
The breakpoints of the piecewise linear function.
The function is linear in the intervals [point_i, point_{i+1}] where the last point implicitly is 2**(num_state_qubits + 1).
calibrations
Return calibration dictionary.
The custom pulse definition of a given gate is of the form {'gate_name': {(qubits, params): schedule}}
clbits
A list of Clbits in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.
contains_zero_breakpoint
Whether 0 is the first breakpoint.
Returns
True, if 0 is the first breakpoint, otherwise False.
data
global_phase
The global phase of the current circuit scope in radians.
instances
Default value: 316
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.
mapped_offsets
The offsets mapped to the internal representation.
Returns
The mapped offsets.
mapped_slopes
The slopes mapped to the internal representation.
Returns
The mapped slopes.
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_ancilla_qubits
The minimum number of ancilla qubits in the circuit.
Returns
The minimal number of ancillas required.
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.
num_parameters
num_qubits
Return number of qubits.
num_state_qubits
The number of state qubits representing the state .
Returns
The number of state qubits.
num_vars
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit.
This is the length of the iter_vars() iterable.
offsets
The breakpoints of the piecewise linear function.
The function is linear in the intervals [point_i, point_{i+1}] where the last point implicitly is 2**(num_state_qubits + 1).
op_start_times
Return a list of operation start times.
This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.
Returns
List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in QuantumCircuit.data.
Raises
AttributeError(opens in a new tab) – When circuit is not scheduled.
parameters

Default value: 'circuit'
qregs
Type: list[QuantumRegister]
A list of the QuantumRegisters in this circuit. You should not mutate this.
qubits
A list of Qubits in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.
slopes
The breakpoints of the piecewise linear function.
The function is linear in the intervals [point_i, point_{i+1}] where the last point implicitly is 2**(num_state_qubits + 1).
name
Type: str
A human-readable name for the circuit.
cregs
Type: list[ClassicalRegister]
A list of the ClassicalRegisters in this circuit. You should not mutate this.
duration
Type: int | float | None
The total duration of the circuit, set by a scheduling transpiler pass. Its unit is specified by unit.
unit
The unit that duration is specified in.
