class NQOutcome(string_rep)

Bases: object

A string of 0’s and 1’s representing a definite outcome in the Z-basis.

Create a NQOutcome.

Parameters:

string_rep (str) – A string of 0s and 1s, one per qubit, e.g. “0010”.

Methods

__init__(string_rep)	Create a NQOutcome.
flip(*indices)	Flip "0" <-> "1" at any number of indices.
weight_1_string(n, i)	creates a n-bit string with a 1 in location i.
weight_2_string(n, i, j)	creates a n-bit string with 1s in locations i and j.

flip(*indices)

Flip “0” <-> “1” at any number of indices. This function takes a variable number of integer arguments specifying the qubit indices whose value should be flipped.

Returns:

A new outcome object with flipped bits.

Return type:

NQOutcome

classmethod weight_1_string(n, i)

creates a n-bit string with a 1 in location i.

classmethod weight_2_string(n, i, j)

creates a n-bit string with 1s in locations i and j.
