PhaseEstimationResult

class PhaseEstimationResult(num_evaluation_qubits, circuit_result, phases)[source]

Bases: qiskit.algorithms.phase_estimators.phase_estimator.PhaseEstimatorResult

Store and manipulate results from running PhaseEstimation.

This class is instantiated by the PhaseEstimation class, not via user code. The PhaseEstimation class generates a list of phases and corresponding weights. Upon completion it returns the results as an instance of this class. The main method for accessing the results is filter_phases.

The canonical phase satisfying the PhaseEstimator interface, returned by the attribute phase, is the most likely phase.

Parameters
  • num_evaluation_qubits – number of qubits in phase-readout register.

  • circuit_result – result object returned by method running circuit.

  • phases – ndarray or dict of phases and frequencies determined by QPE.

Methods

combine

Any property from the argument that exists in the receiver is updated.

filter_phases

Return a filtered dict of phases (keys) and frequencies (values).

Attributes

circuit_result

Return the result object returned by running the QPE circuit (on hardware or simulator).

This is useful for inspecting and troubleshooting the QPE algorithm.

Return type

Result

most_likely_phase

DEPRECATED - Return the most likely phase as a number in \([0.0, 1.0)\).

1.0 corresponds to a phase of \(2\pi\). This selects the phase corresponding to the bit string with the highesest probability. This is the most likely phase.

Return type

float

phase

Return the most likely phase as a number in \([0.0, 1.0)\).

1.0 corresponds to a phase of \(2\pi\). This selects the phase corresponding to the bit string with the highesest probability. This is the most likely phase.

Return type

float

phases

Return all phases and their frequencies computed by QPE.

This is an array or dict whose values correspond to weights on bit strings.
