Objects

These tutorials introduce the essential objects in pyGSTi and how they fit together. If you’re taking the bottom-up route, read them alongside the essential-objects overview.

• Matrix bases — the operator bases (Pauli-product, Gell-Mann, standard) pyGSTi uses to represent operations.

• Circuits — building and manipulating quantum circuits, and working with circuit lists.

• Data sets — storing experimental counts, including multi- and time-stamped datasets.

• Experiment designs — specifying which circuits an experiment should run.

• Models — the central object representing a QIP, with explicit vs. implicit construction, parameterizations, and noise.

• Model packs — ready-made target models and experiment designs for common gate sets.

• Operators — states, POVMs, gates, instruments, and operation factories.

• Processor specifications — describing a processor’s qubits, available gates, and connectivity.

• Results — the result objects that protocols produce.
