[docs] class LocallyBiasedClassicalShadows(MutuallyUnbiasedBasesMeasurements): """A locally-biased classical shadows POVM. This is a special case of a :class:`MutuallyUnbiasedBasesMeasurements`, where the PVMs are chosen to be Z-, X- and Y-measurements. That is, the ``angles`` of the MUB are zero. The example below shows how you construct a locally-biased classical shadows POVM. It plots a visual representation of the POVM's definition to exemplify the biased measurement probabilities. .. plot:: :include-source: >>> import numpy as np >>> from povm_toolbox.library import LocallyBiasedClassicalShadows >>> povm = LocallyBiasedClassicalShadows(2, bias=np.array([[0.1, 0.6, 0.3], [0.5, 0.25, 0.25]])) >>> print(povm) LocallyBiasedClassicalShadows(num_qubits=2, bias=array([[0.1 , 0.6 , 0.3 ], [0.5 , 0.25, 0.25]])) >>> povm.definition().draw_bloch() <Figure size 1000x500 with 2 Axes> """ def __init__( self, num_qubits: int, bias: np.ndarray, *, measurement_layout: list[int] | None = None, # TODO: add | Layout measurement_twirl: bool = False, shot_repetitions: int = 1, insert_barriers: bool = False, seed: int | Generator | None = None, ) -> None: """Initialize a locally-biased classical shadows POVM. Args: num_qubits: the number of qubits. bias: can be either 1D or 2D. If 1D, it should contain float values indicating the bias for measuring in each of the PVMs. I.e., its length equals the number of PVMs (3). These floats should sum to 1. If 2D, it will have a new set of biases for each qubit. measurement_layout: optional list of indices specifying on which qubits the POVM acts. See :attr:`.measurement_layout` for more details. measurement_twirl: whether to randomly twirl the measurements. For each single-qubit projective measurement, random twirling is equivalent to randomly flipping the measurement. This is equivalent to randomly taking the opposite Bloch vector in the Bloch sphere representation. shot_repetitions: number of times the measurement is repeated for each sampled PVM. More precisely, a new PVM is sampled for all ``shots`` (i.e. the number of times as specified by the user via the ``shots`` argument of the method :meth:`.POVMSampler.run`). Then, the parameter ``shot_repetitions`` states how many times we repeat the measurement for each sampled PVM (default is 1). Therefore, the effective total number of measurement shots is ``shots`` multiplied by ``shot_repetitions``. insert_barriers: whether to insert a barrier between the composed circuits. This is not done by default but can prove useful when visualizing the composed circuit. seed: optional seed to fix the :class:`numpy.random.Generator` used to sample PVMs. The Z-,X-,Y-measurements are sampled according to the probability distribution(s) specified by ``bias``. The user can also directly provide a random generator. If ``None``, a random seed will be used.
