ShiftPhase

class qiskit.pulse.instructions.ShiftPhase(phase, channel, name=None)

GitHub

Bases: Instruction

The shift phase instruction updates the modulation phase of proceeding pulses played on the same Channel. It is a relative increase in phase determined by the phase operand.

In particular, a PulseChannel creates pulses of the form

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

The ShiftPhase instruction causes ϕ\phi to be increased by the instruction’s phase operand. This will affect all pulses following on the same channel.

The qubit phase is tracked in software, enabling instantaneous, nearly error-free Z-rotations by using a ShiftPhase to update the frame tracking the qubit state.

Instantiate a shift phase instruction, increasing the output signal phase on channel by phase [radians].

Deprecated since version 1.3

The class qiskit.pulse.instructions.phase.ShiftPhase is deprecated as of Qiskit 1.3. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0. The entire Qiskit Pulse package is being deprecated and will be moved to the Qiskit Dynamics repository: https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-dynamics
