Rabi oscillation experiment Introduction to Cirq

Rotates a qubit around the x-axis of the Bloch sphere by a sequence of Rabi angles evenly spaced between 0 and max_angle. For each rotation, repeat the circuit a number of times and measure the average probability of the qubit being in the |1> state.

Args
sampler	The quantum engine or simulator to run the circuits.
qubit	The qubit under test.
max_angle	The final Rabi angle in radians.
repetitions	The number of repetitions of the circuit for each Rabi angle.
num_points	The number of Rabi angles.

Returns
A RabiResult object that stores and plots the result.
