RoughDrag¶
- class RoughDrag(physical_qubits, schedule, betas=None, backend=None)[source]¶
An experiment that scans the DRAG parameter to find the optimal value.
Overview
A Derivative Removal by Adiabatic Gate (DRAG) pulse is designed to minimize phase errors and leakage resulting from the presence of a neighbouring transition. DRAG is a standard pulse with an additional derivative component. The optimal value of the DRAG parameter, \(\beta\), is chosen to primarily minimize phase errors resulting from the AC Stark shift and potentially leakage errors. The DRAG pulse is
\[f(t) = \Omega(t) + 1j \beta d/dt \Omega(t)\]Here, \(\Omega\) is the envelop of the in-phase component of the pulse and \(\beta\) is the strength of the quadrature which we refer to as the DRAG parameter and seek to calibrate in this experiment. The DRAG calibration will run several series of circuits. In a given circuit a Rp(β) - Rm(β) block is repeated \(N\) times. Here, Rp is a rotation with a positive angle and Rm is the same rotation with a native angle and is implemented by the gate sequence Rz(π) - Rp(β) - Rz(π) where the Z rotations are virtual. As example the circuit of a single repetition, i.e. \(N=1\), is shown below.
┌───────┐┌───────┐┌───────┐┌───────┐ ░ ┌─┐ q_0: ┤ Rp(β) ├┤ Rz(π) ├┤ Rp(β) ├┤ Rz(π) ├─░─┤M├ └───────┘└───────┘└───────┘└───────┘ ░ └╥┘ measure: 1/════════════════════════════════════════╩═ 0
The parameter β is scanned to find the value that minimizes the unwanted Z-rotation. Note that the analysis class requires this experiment to run with three repetition numbers.

Deprecated since version 0.8: The class
qiskit_experiments.library.characterization.drag.RoughDrag
is deprecated as of qiskit-experiments 0.8. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Due to the deprecation of Qiskit Pulse, experiments involving pulse gate calibrations like this one have been deprecated.- Parameters:
physical_qubits (Sequence[int]) – Sequence containing the qubit for which to run the Drag calibration.
schedule (ScheduleBlock) – The schedule to run. This schedule should have one free parameter corresponding to a DRAG parameter.
betas (Iterable[float] | None) – The values of the DRAG parameter to scan. If None is given the default range
linspace(-5, 5, 51)
is used.backend (Backend | None) – Optional, the backend to run the experiment on.
- Raises:
QiskitError – If the schedule does not have a free parameter.

Methods
- circuits()[source]¶
Create the circuits for the Drag calibration.
- Returns:
The circuits that will run the Drag calibration.

- Return type:
- enable_restless(rep_delay=None, override_processor_by_restless=True, suppress_t1_error=False)¶
Enables a restless experiment by setting the restless run options and the restless data processor.
Deprecated since version 0.8: The method
qiskit_experiments.framework.restless_mixin.RestlessMixin.enable_restless()
is deprecated as of qiskit-experiments 0.8. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Support for restless experiments has been deprecated.- Parameters:
rep_delay (float | None) – The repetition delay. This is the delay between a measurement and the subsequent quantum circuit. Since the backends have dynamic repetition rates, the repetition delay can be set to a small value which is required for restless experiments. Typical values are 1 us or less.
override_processor_by_restless (bool) – If False, a data processor that is specified in the analysis options of the experiment is not overridden by the restless data processor. The default is True.
suppress_t1_error (bool) – If True, the default is False, then no error will be raised when
rep_delay
is larger than the T1 times of the qubits. Instead, a warning will be logged as restless measurements may have a large amount of noise.
- Raises:
DataProcessorError – If the attribute rep_delay_range is not defined for the backend.
DataProcessorError – If a data processor has already been set but override_processor_by_restless is True.
DataProcessorError – If the experiment analysis does not have the data_processor option.
DataProcessorError – If the rep_delay is equal to or greater than the T1 time of one of the physical qubits in the experiment and the flag
ignore_t1_check
is False.
