convert(instrument, to_type, basis, ideal_instrument=None, flatten_structure=False)#

Convert instrument to a new type of parameterization. This potentially creates a new object.

Parameters:

  • instrument (InstrumentLike) – Instrument to convert.

  • to_type (str) – The type of parameterizaton to convert to. Supported types are “full”, “full TP”, “static”, and all Lindblad types.

  • basis (BasisLike) – The basis for Hilbert–Schmidt superoperators in instrument.values().

  • ideal_instrument (Instrument, optional) – Currently ignored. This argument is retained only to provide polymorphism across pyGSTi’s ModelMember convert functions.

  • flatten_structure (bool, optional) – Only relevant when to_type is in {“full”, “static”}. In these cases flatten_structure is forwarded to _op.convert() when converting instrument’s constituent CPTR maps.

Return type:

Instrument

Raises:

ValueError for invalid conversions. –
