Given a circuit and a list of bitstrings, computes the amplitudes of the given bitstrings in the state obtained by applying the circuit to the all zeros state. Implementors of this interface should implement the compute_amplitudes_sweep method.

Methods

`compute_amplitudes`

View source

compute_amplitudes(
    program: "cirq.Circuit",
    bitstrings: Sequence[int],
    param_resolver: "study.ParamResolverOrSimilarType" = None,
    qubit_order: cirq.ops.QubitOrderOrList = cirq.ops.QubitOrder.DEFAULT
) -> Sequence[complex]

Computes the desired amplitudes.

The initial state is assumed to be the all zeros state.

Args
`program`	The circuit to simulate.
`bitstrings`	The bitstrings whose amplitudes are desired, input as an integer array where each integer is formed from measured qubit values according to `qubit_order` from most to least significant qubit, i.e. in big-endian ordering.
`param_resolver`	Parameters to run with the program.
`qubit_order`	Determines the canonical ordering of the qubits. This is often used in specifying the initial state, i.e. the ordering of the computational basis states.

Returns
List of amplitudes.

Computes the desired amplitudes.

The initial state is assumed to be the all zeros state.

`qubit_order`	Determines the canonical ordering of the qubits. This is often used in specifying the initial state, i.e. the ordering of the computational basis states.

Returns
List of lists of amplitudes. The outer dimension indexes the circuit parameters and the inner dimension indexes the bitstrings.
