z_feature_map

Bases:

The first order Pauli Z-evolution circuit.

On 3 qubits and with 2 repetitions the circuit is represented by:

┌───┐┌─────────────┐┌───┐┌─────────────┐
┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*x[0]) ├┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*x[0]) ├
├───┤├─────────────┤├───┤├─────────────┤
┤ H ├┤ U(2.0*x[1]) ├┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*x[1]) ├
├───┤├─────────────┤├───┤├─────────────┤
┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*x[2]) ├┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*x[2]) ├
└───┘└─────────────┘└───┘└─────────────┘

This is a sub-class of PauliFeatureMap where the Pauli strings are fixed as [‘Z’]. As a result the first order expansion will be a circuit without entangling gates.
