Fourier checking circuit.

The circuit for the Fourier checking algorithm, introduced in [1], involves a layer of Hadamards, the function \(f\), another layer of Hadamards, the function \(g\), followed by a final layer of Hadamards. The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are classical functions realized as phase oracles (diagonal operators with {-1, 1} on the diagonal).

The probability of observing the all-zeros string is \(p(f,g)\). The algorithm solves the promise Fourier checking problem, which decides if f is correlated with the Fourier transform of g, by testing if \(p(f,g) <= 0.01\) or \(p(f,g) >= 0.05\), promised that one or the other of these is true.

The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are currently implemented from their truth tables but could be represented concisely and implemented efficiently for special classes of functions.

Fourier checking is a special case of \(k\)-fold forrelation [2].

戻り値

a list-like object containing the tuples for the circuit’s data.

Each tuple is in the format (instruction, qargs, cargs), where instruction is an Instruction (or subclass) object, qargs is a list of Qubit objects, and cargs is a list of Clbit objects.

metadata

The user provided metadata associated with the circuit

The metadata for the circuit is a user provided dict of metadata for the circuit. It will not be used to influence the execution or operation of the circuit, but it is expected to be passed between all transforms of the circuit (ie transpilation) and that providers will associate any circuit metadata with the results it returns from execution of that circuit.

num_ancillas

Return the number of ancilla qubits.

num_clbits

Return number of classical bits.

num_parameters

Convenience function to get the number of parameter objects in the circuit.

num_qubits

Return number of qubits.

parameters

Convenience function to get the parameters defined in the parameter table.

prefix = 'circuit'

qubits

Returns a list of quantum bits in the order that the registers were added.
