- class pygsti.protocols.vb.ByDepthDesign(depths, circuit_lists, qubit_labels=None, remove_duplicates=True)
Bases:
pygsti.protocols.protocol.CircuitListsDesignExperiment design that holds circuits organized by depth.
Parameters
- depthslist or tuple
A sequence of integers specifying the circuit depth associated with each element of circuit_lists.
- circuit_listslist or tuple
The circuits to include in this experiment design. Each element is a list of
Circuitsspecifying the circuits at the corresponding depth.- qubit_labelstuple, optional
The qubits that this experiment design applies to. If None, the line labels of the first circuit is used.
- remove_duplicatesbool, optional
Whether to remove duplicates when automatically creating all the circuits that need data.
Create a new CircuitListsDesign object.
Parameters
- circuit_listslist or PlaquetteGridCircuitStructure
A list whose elements are themselves lists of
Circuitobjects, specifying the data that needs to be taken. Alternatively, a singlePlaquetteGridCircuitStructureobject containing a sequence of circuits lists, each at a different “x” value (usually the maximum circuit depth).- all_circuits_needing_datalist, optional
A list of all the circuits needing data. By default, This is just the concatenation of the elements of circuit_lists with duplicates removed. The only reason to specify this separately is if you happen to have this list lying around.
- qubit_labelstuple, optional
The qubits that this experiment design applies to. If None, the line labels of the first circuit is used.
- nestedbool, optional
Whether the elements of circuit_lists are nested, e.g. whether circuit_lists[i] is a subset of circuit_lists[i+1]. This is useful to know because certain operations can be more efficient when it is known that the lists are nested.
- remove_duplicatesbool, optional
Whether to remove duplicates when automatically creating all the circuits that need data (this argument isn’t used when all_circuits_needing_data is given).
Returns
CircuitListsDesign

Creates a new experiment design whose circuits’ qubit labels are updated according to a given mapping.
Parameters

ByDepthDesign
- class pygsti.protocols.vb.PeriodicMirrorCircuitDesign(pspec, depths, circuits_per_depth, qubit_labels=None, clifford_compilations=None, sampler='edgegrab', samplerargs=(0.125,), localclifford=True, paulirandomize=True, fixed_versus_depth=False, descriptor='A random germ mirror circuit experiment', seed=None)
Bases:
BenchmarkingDesignExperiment design for periodic mirror-circuit benchmarking.
THIS METHOD IS IN DEVELOPEMENT. DO NOT EXPECT THAT THIS FUNCTION WILL BEHAVE THE SAME IN FUTURE RELEASES OF PYGSTI! THE DOCSTRINGS SHOULD ALSO NOT BE TRUSTED – MANY (MAYBE ALL) OF THEM ARE COPIED FROM THE MIRRORBDESIGN OBJECT AND SO SOME BITS ARE WRONG OR NOT APPLICABLE.
Parameters
- pspecQubitProcessorSpec
The QubitProcessorSpec for the device that the experiment is being generated for. The pspec is always handed to the sampler, as the first argument of the sampler function.
- depthslist of ints
The “mirror RB depths” of the circuits, which is closely related to the circuit depth. A MRB length must be an even integer, and can be zero.
If localclifford and paulirandomize are False, the depth of a sampled circuit = the MRB length. The first length/2 layers are all sampled independently according to the sampler specified by sampler. The remaining half of the circuit is the “inversion” circuit that is determined by the first half.
If paulirandomize is True and localclifford is False, the depth of a circuit is 2*length+1 with odd-indexed layers sampled according to the sampler specified by sampler, and the the zeroth layer + the even-indexed layers consisting of random 1-qubit Pauli gates.
If paulirandomize and localclifford are True, the depth of a circuit is 2*length+1 + X where X is a random variable (between 0 and normally <= ~12-16) that accounts for the depth from the layer of random 1-qubit Cliffords at the start and end of the circuit.
If paulirandomize is False and localclifford is True, the depth of a circuit is length + X where X is a random variable (between 0 and normally <= ~12-16) that accounts for the depth from the layer of random 1-qubit Cliffords at the start and end of the circuit.
- circuits_per_depthint
The number of (possibly) different MRB circuits sampled at each length.
- qubit_labelslist, optional
If not None, a list of the qubits that the RB circuit is to be sampled for. This should be all or a subset of the qubits in the device specified by the QubitProcessorSpec pspec. If None, it is assumed that the RB circuit should be over all the qubits. Note that the ordering of this list is the order of the “wires” in the returned circuit, but is otherwise irrelevant.
- samplerstr or function, optional
If a string, this should be one of: {‘pairingQs’, ‘Qelimination’, ‘co2Qgates’, ‘local’}. Except for ‘local’, this corresponds to sampling layers according to the sampling function in rb.sampler named circuit_layer_by* (with * replaced by ‘sampler’). For ‘local’, this corresponds to sampling according to rb.sampler.circuit_layer_of_oneQgates [which is not a valid option for n-qubit MRB – it results in sim. 1-qubit MRB – but it is not explicitly forbidden by this function]. If sampler is a function, it should be a function that takes as the first argument a QubitProcessorSpec, and returns a random circuit layer as a list of gate Label objects. Note that the default ‘Qelimination’ is not necessarily the most useful in-built sampler, but it is the only sampler that requires no parameters beyond the QubitProcessorSpec and works for arbitrary connectivity devices. See the docstrings for each of these samplers for more information.
- samplerargslist, optional
A list of arguments that are handed to the sampler function, specified by sampler. The first argument handed to the sampler is pspec and samplerargs lists the remaining arguments handed to the sampler.
- localcliffordbool, optional
Whether to start the circuit with uniformly random 1-qubit Cliffords and all of the qubits (compiled into the native gates of the device).
- paulirandomizebool, optional
Whether to have uniformly random Pauli operators on all of the qubits before and after all of the layers in the “out” and “back” random circuits. At length 0 there is a single layer of random Pauli operators (in between two layers of 1-qubit Clifford gates if localclifford is True); at length l there are 2l+1 Pauli layers as there are
- fixed_versus_depthbool, optional

Parameters

- nestedbool, optional
Whether the elements of circuit_lists are nested, e.g. whether circuit_lists[i] is a subset of circuit_lists[i+1]. This is useful to know because certain operations can be more efficient when it is known that the lists are nested.
- remove_duplicatesbool, optional

Bases:
SummaryStatisticsA protocol that computes summary statistics for data organized into by-depth circuit lists. Parameters ———- depths : list or “all”, optional
A sequence of the depths to compute summary statistics for or the special “all” value which means “all the depths in the data”. If data being processed does not contain a given value in depths, it is just ignored.
