Bases:

Add-on class that implements a number of error-generator access functions
- errorgen_coefficients(return_basis=False, logscale_nonham=False)
Constructs a dictionary of the Lindblad-error-generator coefficients of this operation.
Note that these are not necessarily the parameter values, as these coefficients are generally functions of the parameters (so as to keep the coefficients positive, for instance).
Parameters
- return_basisbool, optional
Whether to also return a
Basis
containing the elements with which the error generator terms were constructed.- logscale_nonhambool, optional
Whether or not the non-hamiltonian error generator coefficients should be scaled so that the returned dict contains: (1 - exp(-d^2 * coeff)) / d^2 instead of coeff. This essentially converts the coefficient into a rate that is the contribution this term would have within a depolarizing channel where all stochastic generators had this same coefficient. This is the value returned by
error_rates()
.
Returns
- lindblad_term_dictdict
Keys are (termType, basisLabel1, <basisLabel2>) tuples, where termType is “H” (Hamiltonian), “S” (Stochastic), or “A” (Affine). Hamiltonian and Affine terms always have a single basis label (so key is a 2-tuple) whereas Stochastic tuples have 1 basis label to indicate a diagonal term and otherwise have 2 basis labels to specify off-diagonal non-Hamiltonian Lindblad terms. Basis labels are integers starting at 0. Values are complex coefficients.
- basisBasis
A Basis mapping the basis labels used in the keys of lindblad_term_dict to basis matrices.
- errorgen_coefficient_labels()
The elementary error-generator labels corresponding to the elements of
errorgen_coefficients_array()
.Returns
- tuple
A tuple of (<type>, <basisEl1> [,<basisEl2]) elements identifying the elementary error generators of this gate.
- errorgen_coefficients_array()
The weighted coefficients of this operation’s error generator in terms of “standard” error generators.
Constructs a 1D array of all the coefficients returned by
errorgen_coefficients()
, weighted so that different error generators can be weighted differently when a errorgen_penalty_factor is used in an objective function.Returns
- numpy.ndarray
A 1D array of length equal to the number of coefficients in the linear combination of standard error generators that is this operation’s error generator.
- errorgen_coefficients_array_deriv_wrt_params()
The jacobian of
errogen_coefficients_array()
with respect to this operation’s parameters.Returns
- numpy.ndarray
A 2D array of shape (num_coeffs, num_params) where num_coeffs is the number of coefficients of this operation’s error generator and num_params is this operation’s number of parameters.
- error_rates()
Constructs a dictionary of the error rates associated with this operation.
The “error rate” for an individual Hamiltonian error is the angle about the “axis” (generalized in the multi-qubit case) corresponding to a particular basis element, i.e. theta in the unitary channel U = exp(i * theta/2 * BasisElement).
The “error rate” for an individual Stochastic error is the contribution that basis element’s term would have to the error rate of a depolarization channel. For example, if the rate corresponding to the term (‘S’,’X’) is 0.01 this means that the coefficient of the rho -> X*rho*X-rho error generator is set such that if this coefficient were used for all 3 (X,Y, and Z) terms the resulting depolarizing channel would have error rate 3*0.01 = 0.03.
Note that because error generator terms do not necessarily commute with one another, the sum of the returned error rates is not necessarily the error rate of the overall channel.
Returns
- lindblad_term_dictdict
Keys are (termType, basisLabel1, <basisLabel2>) tuples, where termType is “H” (Hamiltonian), “S” (Stochastic), or “A” (Affine). Hamiltonian and Affine terms always have a single basis label (so key is a 2-tuple) whereas Stochastic tuples have 1 basis label to indicate a diagonal term and otherwise have 2 basis labels to specify off-diagonal non-Hamiltonian Lindblad terms. Values are real error rates except for the 2-basis-label case.
- set_errorgen_coefficients(lindblad_term_dict, action='update', logscale_nonham=False, truncate=False)
Sets the coefficients of terms in the error generator of this operation.
The dictionary lindblad_term_dict has tuple-keys describing the type of term and the basis elements used to construct it, e.g. (‘H’,’X’).
Parameters
- lindblad_term_dictdict
Keys are (termType, basisLabel1, <basisLabel2>) tuples, where termType is “H” (Hamiltonian), “S” (Stochastic), or “A” (Affine). Hamiltonian and Affine terms always have a single basis label (so key is a 2-tuple) whereas Stochastic tuples have 1 basis label to indicate a diagonal term and otherwise have 2 basis labels to specify off-diagonal non-Hamiltonian Lindblad terms. Values are the coefficients of these error generators, and should be real except for the 2-basis-label case.
- action{“update”,”add”,”reset”}
How the values in lindblad_term_dict should be combined with existing error-generator coefficients.
- logscale_nonhambool, optional
Whether or not the values in lindblad_term_dict for non-hamiltonian error generators should be interpreted as error rates (of an “equivalent” depolarizing channel, see
errorgen_coefficients()
) instead of raw coefficients. If True, then the non-hamiltonian coefficients are set to -log(1 - d^2*rate)/d^2, where rate is the corresponding value given in lindblad_term_dict. This is what is performed by the functionset_error_rates()
.- truncatebool, optional
Whether to allow adjustment of the errogen coefficients in order to meet constraints (e.g. to preserve CPTP) when necessary. If False, then an error is thrown when the given coefficients cannot be set as specified.
Returns
None
- set_error_rates(lindblad_term_dict, action='update')
Sets the coeffcients of terms in the error generator of this operation.
Values are set so that the contributions of the resulting channel’s error rate are given by the values in lindblad_term_dict. See
error_rates()
for more details.Parameters
