Bases: qiskit.circuit.library.blueprintcircuit.BlueprintCircuit
Piecewise Chebyshev approximation to an input function.
For a given function and degree , this class implements a piecewise polynomial Chebyshev approximation on qubits to on the given intervals. All the polynomials in the approximation are of degree .
The values of the parameters are calculated according to [1].
Examples
import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit.library.arithmetic.piecewise_chebyshev import PiecewiseChebyshev
f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits = lambda x: np.arcsin(1 / x), 2, [2, 4], 2
pw_approximation = PiecewiseChebyshev(f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits)
pw_approximation._build()
qc = QuantumCircuit(pw_approximation.num_qubits)
qc.h(list(range(num_state_qubits)))
qc.append(pw_approximation.to_instruction(), qc.qubits)
qc.draw(output='mpl')

Parameters
- f_x (
Union[float,Callable[[int],float]]) – the function to be approximated. Constant functions should be specified as f_x = constant. - degree (
Optional[int]) – the degree of the polynomials. Defaults to1. - breakpoints (
Optional[List[int]]) – the breakpoints to define the piecewise-linear function. Defaults to the full interval. - num_state_qubits (
Optional[int]) – number of qubits representing the state. - name (
str) – The name of the circuit object.

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.
