pygsti.circuits.rpecircuits.make_rpe_alpha_str_lists_gx_gz(k_list)

Make alpha cosine and sine circuit lists for (approx) X pi/4 and Z pi/2 gates.

These circuits are used to estimate alpha (Z rotation angle).

Parameters

k_listlist of ints

The list of “germ powers” to be used. Typically successive powers of two; e.g. [1,2,4,8,16].

Returns

cosStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “cosine strings” to be used for alpha estimation.

sinStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “sine strings” to be used for alpha estimation.

pygsti.circuits.rpecircuits.make_rpe_epsilon_str_lists_gx_gz(k_list)

Make epsilon cosine and sine circuit lists for (approx) X pi/4 and Z pi/2 gates.

These circuits are used to estimate epsilon (X rotation angle).

Parameters

k_listlist of ints

The list of “germ powers” to be used. Typically successive powers of two; e.g. [1,2,4,8,16].

Returns

epsilonCosStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “cosine strings” to be used for epsilon estimation.

epsilonSinStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “sine strings” to be used for epsilon estimation.

pygsti.circuits.rpecircuits.make_rpe_theta_str_lists_gx_gz(k_list)

Make theta cosine and sine circuit lists for (approx) X pi/4 and Z pi/2 gates.

These circuits are used to estimate theta (X-Z axes angle).

Parameters

Returns

thetaCosStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “cosine strings” to be used for theta estimation.

thetaSinStrListlist of Circuits

The list of “sine strings” to be used for theta estimation.

pygsti.circuits.rpecircuits.make_rpe_string_list_d(log2k_max)

Creates a dictionary containing all the circuits needed for RPE.

This includes circuits for all RPE cosine and sine experiments for all three angles.

Parameters

log2k_maxint

Maximum number of times to repeat an RPE “germ”

Returns

totalStrListDdict

A dictionary containing all circuits for all sine and cosine experiments for alpha, epsilon, and theta. The keys of the returned dictionary are:

  • ‘alpha’,’cos’ : List of circuits for cosine experiments used to determine alpha.

  • ‘alpha’,’sin’ : List of circuits for sine experiments used to determine alpha.

  • ‘epsilon’,’cos’List of circuits for cosine experiments used to

    determine epsilon.

  • ‘epsilon’,’sin’ : List of circuits for sine experiments used to determine epsilon.

  • ‘theta’,’cos’ : List of circuits for cosine experiments used to determine theta.

  • ‘theta’,’sin’ : List of circuits for sine experiments used to determine theta.

  • ‘totalStrList’ : All above circuits combined into one list; duplicates removed.
