class ReadoutAngle(BaseExperiment):
    r"""
    An experiment to measure the angle between ground and excited state IQ clusters.

    # section: overview

        Design and analyze experiments for estimating readout angle of the qubit.
        The readout angle is the average of two angles: the angle of the IQ
        cluster center of the ground state, and the angle of the IQ cluster center
        of the excited state.

        Each experiment consists of the following steps:

        1. Circuits generation: two circuits, the first circuit measures the qubit
           in the ground state, the second circuit sets the qubit in the excited state
           and measures it. Measurements are in level 1 (kerneled).
        2. Backend execution: actually running the circuits on the device
           (or a simulator that supports level 1 measurements). The backend returns
           the cluster centers of the ground and excited states.
        3. Analysis of results: return the average of the angles of the two centers.
