Circuit Assembler

assemble_circuits

qiskit.assembler.assemble_circuits(circuits, run_config, qobj_id, qobj_header) GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Assembles a list of circuits into a qobj that can be run on the backend.

Parameters

Returns

The qobj to be run on the backends

Return type

QasmQobj

Examples

from qiskit.circuit import QuantumRegister, ClassicalRegister, QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.assembler import assemble_circuits
from qiskit.assembler.run_config import RunConfig
# Build a circuit to convert into a Qobj
q = QuantumRegister(2)
c = ClassicalRegister(2)
qc = QuantumCircuit(q, c)
qc.h(q[0])
qc.cx(q[0], q[1])
qc.measure(q, c)
# Assemble a Qobj from the input circuit
qobj = assemble_circuits(circuits=[qc],
                         qobj_id="custom-id",
                         qobj_header=[],
                         run_config=RunConfig(shots=2000, memory=True, init_qubits=True))

Schedule Assembler

assemble_schedules

qiskit.assembler.assemble_schedules(schedules, qobj_id, qobj_header, run_config) GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Assembles a list of schedules into a qobj that can be run on the backend.

Parameters

Returns

The Qobj to be run on the backends.

Raises

QiskitError – when frequency settings are not supplied.

Return type

PulseQobj

Examples

from qiskit import pulse
from qiskit.assembler import assemble_schedules
from qiskit.assembler.run_config import RunConfig
# Construct a Qobj header for the output Qobj
header = {"backend_name": "FakeOpenPulse2Q", "backend_version": "0.0.0"}
# Build a configuration object for the output Qobj
config = RunConfig(shots=1024,
                   memory=False,
                   meas_level=1,
                   meas_return='avg',
                   memory_slot_size=100,
                   parametric_pulses=[],
                   init_qubits=True,
                   qubit_lo_freq=[4900000000.0, 5000000000.0],
                   meas_lo_freq=[6500000000.0, 6600000000.0],
                   schedule_los=[])
# Build a Pulse schedule to assemble into a Qobj
schedule = pulse.Schedule()
schedule += pulse.Play(pulse.Waveform([0.1] * 16, name="test0"),
                       pulse.DriveChannel(0),
                       name="test1")
schedule += pulse.Play(pulse.Waveform([0.1] * 16, name="test1"),
                       pulse.DriveChannel(0),
                       name="test2")
schedule += pulse.Play(pulse.Waveform([0.5] * 16, name="test0"),
                       pulse.DriveChannel(0),
                       name="test1")
# Assemble a Qobj from the schedule.
pulseQobj = assemble_schedules(schedules=[schedule],
                               qobj_id="custom-id",
                               qobj_header=header,
                               run_config=config)

Disassembler

disassemble

qiskit.assembler.disassemble(qobj) GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Disassemble a qobj and return the circuits or pulse schedules, run_config, and user header.

Note

disassemble(assemble(qc)) is not guaranteed to produce an exactly equal circuit to the input, due to limitations in the QasmQobj format that need to be maintained for backend system compatibility. This is most likely to be the case when using newer features of QuantumCircuit. In most cases, the output should be equivalent, if not quite equal.

Parameters

qobj (Qobj) – The input qobj object to disassemble

Returns

The disassembled program which consists of:

  • programs: A list of quantum circuits or pulse schedules
  • run_config: The dict of the run config
  • user_qobj_header: The dict of any user headers in the qobj

Return type

Union[CircuitModule, PulseModule]

Examples

from qiskit.circuit import QuantumRegister, ClassicalRegister, QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.compiler.assembler import assemble
from qiskit.assembler.disassemble import disassemble
# Create a circuit to assemble into a qobj
q = QuantumRegister(2)
c = ClassicalRegister(2)
qc = QuantumCircuit(q, c)
qc.h(q[0])
qc.cx(q[0], q[1])
qc.measure(q, c)
# Assemble the circuit into a Qobj
qobj = assemble(qc, shots=2000, memory=True)
# Disassemble the qobj back into a circuit
circuits, run_config_out, headers = disassemble(qobj)

RunConfig

RunConfig([shots, seed_simulator, memory, ...])Class for Run Configuration.
