EvolvedOperatorAnsatz

EvolvedOperatorAnsatz(operators=None, reps=1, evolution=None, insert_barriers=False, name='EvolvedOps', parameter_prefix='t', initial_state=None)

GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.library.n_local.n_local.NLocal

The evolved operator ansatz.

Parameters

  • operators (Optional[Union[OperatorBase, QuantumCircuit, list]) – The operators to evolve. If a circuit is passed, we assume it implements an already evolved operator and thus the circuit is not evolved again. Can be a single operator (circuit) or a list of operators (and circuits).
  • reps (int) – The number of times to repeat the evolved operators.
  • evolution (Optional[EvolutionBase]) – An opflow converter object to construct the evolution. Defaults to Trotterization.
  • insert_barriers (bool) – Whether to insert barriers in between each evolution.
  • name (str) – The name of the circuit.
  • parameter_prefix (Union[str, List[str]]) – Set the names of the circuit parameters. If a string, the same prefix will be used for each parameters. Can also be a list to specify a prefix per operator.
  • initial_state (Optional[QuantumCircuit]) – A QuantumCircuit object to prepend to the circuit.

Attributes

ancillas

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

Return type

List[AncillaQubit]

calibrations

Return calibration dictionary.

The custom pulse definition of a given gate is of the form {'gate_name': {(qubits, params): schedule}}

Return type

dict

clbits

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

Return type

List[Clbit]

data

entanglement

Get the entanglement strategy.

Return type

Union[str, List[str], List[List[str]], List[int], List[List[int]], List[List[List[int]]], List[List[List[List[int]]]], Callable[[int], str], Callable[[int], List[List[int]]]]

Returns

The entanglement strategy, see get_entangler_map() for more detail on how the format is interpreted.

entanglement_blocks

The blocks in the entanglement layers.

Return type

List[Instruction]

Returns

The blocks in the entanglement layers.

evolution

The evolution converter used to compute the evolution.

Returns

The evolution converter used to compute the evolution.

Return type

EvolutionBase

extension_lib

= 'include "qelib1.inc";'

global_phase

Return the global phase of the circuit in radians.

Return type

Union[ParameterExpression, float]

= 'OPENQASM 2.0;'

initial_state

Return the initial state that is added in front of the n-local circuit.

Return type

QuantumCircuit

Returns

The initial state.

insert_barriers

If barriers are inserted in between the layers or not.

Return type

bool

Returns

True, if barriers are inserted in between the layers, False if not.

instances

= 2308

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.

Return type

dict

num_ancillas

Return the number of ancilla qubits.

Return type

int

num_clbits

Return number of classical bits.

Return type

int

num_layers

Return the number of layers in the n-local circuit.

Return type

int

Returns

The number of layers in the circuit.

num_parameters

Return type

int

num_parameters_settable

The number of total parameters that can be set to distinct values.

This does not change when the parameters are bound or exchanged for same parameters, and therefore is different from num_parameters which counts the number of unique Parameter objects currently in the circuit.

Return type

int

Returns

The number of parameters originally available in the circuit.

Note

This quantity does not require the circuit to be built yet.

num_qubits

Return type

int

op_start_times

Return a list of operation start times.

This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.

Return type

List[int]

Returns

List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in QuantumCircuit.data.

Raises

AttributeError – When circuit is not scheduled.

operators

The operators that are evolved in this circuit.

Returns

The operators to be evolved (and circuits) contained in this ansatz.

Return type

list

ordered_parameters

The parameters used in the underlying circuit.

This includes float values and duplicates.

Examples

>>> # prepare circuit ...
>>> print(nlocal)
     ┌───────┐┌──────────┐┌──────────┐┌──────────┐
q_0:Ry(1) ├┤ Ry(θ[1]) ├┤ Ry(θ[1]) ├┤ Ry(θ[3])
     └───────┘└──────────┘└──────────┘└──────────┘
>>> nlocal.parameters
{Parameter(θ[1]), Parameter(θ[3])}
>>> nlocal.ordered_parameters
[1, Parameter(θ[1]), Parameter(θ[1]), Parameter(θ[3])]

Return type

List[Parameter]

Returns

The parameters objects used in the circuit.

parameter_bounds

The parameter bounds for the unbound parameters in the circuit.

Return type

Optional[List[Tuple[float, float]]]

Returns

A list of pairs indicating the bounds, as (lower, upper). None indicates an unbounded parameter in the corresponding direction. If None is returned, problem is fully unbounded.

parameters

Return type

ParameterView

preferred_init_points

Getter of preferred initial points based on the given initial state.

prefix

= 'circuit'

qregs

A list of the quantum registers associated with the circuit.

qubits

Return type

List[Qubit]

reps

The number of times rotation and entanglement block are repeated.

Return type

int

Returns

The number of repetitions.

rotation_blocks

The blocks in the rotation layers.

Return type

List[Instruction]

Returns

The blocks in the rotation layers.
