Experiment options

These options can be set by the set_experiment_options() method.

Options

• Defined in the class FineSXAmplitudeCal:

  • repetitions (List[int])

    Default value: [0, 1, 2, 3, 5, …]

    By default the repetitions take on odd numbers for $\pi /2$ target angles as this ideally prepares states on the equator of the Bloch sphere. Note that the repetitions include two repetitions which plays the same role as including a circuit with an X gate.

  • target_angle (float)

    Default value: 1.5707963267948966

    The target angle per gate.

• Defined in the class BaseCalibrationExperiment:

  • result_index (int)

    Default value: -1

    The index of the result from which to update the calibrations.

  • group (str)

    Default value: "default"

    The calibration group to which the parameter belongs. This will default to the value “default”.

• Defined in the class FineAmplitude:

  • gate (Gate)

    Default value: None

    This is a gate class such as XGate, so that one can obtain a gate by doing options.gate().

  • normalization (bool)

    Default value: True

    If set to True the DataProcessor will normalized the measured signal to the interval [0, 1]. Defaults to True.

  • add_cal_circuits (bool)

    Default value: False

    If set to True then two circuits to calibrate 0 and 1 points will be added. These circuits are often needed to properly calibrate the amplitude of the ping-pong oscillation that encodes the errors. This helps account for state preparation and measurement errors.

• Defined in the class BaseExperiment:

  • max_circuits (Optional[int])

    Default value: None

    The maximum number of circuits per job when running an experiment on a backend.

Initialization

See class FineAmplitude for details.

Parameters:

• physical_qubits (Sequence[int]) – Sequence containing the qubit(s) for which to run the fine amplitude calibration. This can be a pair of qubits which correspond to control and target qubit.

• calibrations (Calibrations) – The calibrations instance with the schedules.

• schedule_name (str) – The name of the schedule to calibrate.

• backend (Backend | None) – Optional, the backend to run the experiment on.

• cal_parameter_name (str | None) – The name of the parameter in the schedule to update.

• auto_update (bool) – Whether or not to automatically update the calibrations. By default this variable is set to True.

• gate – The gate to repeat in the quantum circuit. If this argument is None (the default), then the gate is built from the schedule name.

• measurement_qubits – The qubits in the given physical qubits that need to be measured.

Attributes

analysis: BaseAnalysis

Return the analysis instance for the experiment.

Note

Analysis instance set to calibration experiment is implicitly patched to run calibration updater to update the parameters in the calibration table.

backend

Return the backend for the experiment

calibrations

Return the calibrations.

experiment_options

Return the options for the experiment.

experiment_type

Return experiment type.

num_qubits

Return the number of qubits for the experiment.

physical_qubits

Return the device qubits for the experiment.

run_options

Return options values for the experiment run() method.

transpile_options

Return the transpiler options for the run() method.

Methods

circuits()

Create the circuits for the fine amplitude calibration experiment.

Returns:

A list of circuits with a variable number of gates.

Raises:

CalibrationError – If the analysis options do not contain the angle_per_gate.

Return type:

List[QuantumCircuit]

config()

Return the config dataclass for this experiment

Return type:

ExperimentConfig

copy()

Return a copy of the experiment

Return type:

BaseExperiment

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.

classmethod from_config(config)

Return type:

BaseExperiment
