sample_one_q_clifford_layer_as_compiled_circuit(pspec, absolute_compilation, qubit_labels=None, rand_state=None)#

Samples a uniformly random layer of 1-qubit Cliffords.

Create a uniformly random layer of 1-qubit Cliffords on all the qubits, and then converts it to the native gate-set of pspec. That is, an independent and uniformly random 1-qubit Clifford is sampled for each qubit.

Parameters:

  • pspec (QubitProcessorSpec) – The QubitProcessorSpec for the device.

  • absolute_compilation (CompilationRules) – Rules for exactly (absolutely) compiling the “native” gates of pspec into clifford gates.

  • qubit_labels (list, optional) – If not None, a list of a subset of the qubits from pspec that the circuit should act on.

  • rand_state (RandomState, optional) – A np.random.RandomState object for seeding RNG

Returns:

A circuit corresponding to an independent, uniformly random 1-qubit Clifford gate on each qubit.

Return type:

Circuit
