SetFrequency

class qiskit.pulse.instructions.SetFrequency(frequency, channel, name=None)

GitHub

Bases: Instruction

Set the channel frequency. This instruction operates on PulseChannel s. A PulseChannel creates pulses of the form

Re[exp(i2πfjdt+ϕ)dj].Re[\exp(i 2\pi f jdt + \phi) d_j].

Here, ff is the frequency of the channel. The instruction SetFrequency allows the user to set the value of ff. All pulses that are played on a channel after SetFrequency has been called will have the corresponding frequency.

The duration of SetFrequency is 0.

Creates a new set channel frequency instruction.

Parameters

  • frequency (float |ParameterExpression) – New frequency of the channel in Hz.
  • channel (PulseChannel) – The channel this instruction operates on.
  • name (str | None) – Name of this set channel frequency instruction.

Attributes

channel

Return the Channel that this instruction is scheduled on.

channels

Returns the channels that this schedule uses.

duration

Duration of this instruction.

frequency

New frequency.

id
