cirq_google.calibration.PhasedFSimEngineSimulator

Wrapper on top of cirq.Simulator that allows to simulate calibration requests.

This simulator introduces get_calibrations which allows to simulate cirq_google.run_characterizations requests. The returned calibration results represent the internal state of a simulator. Circuits which are run on this simulator are modified to account for the changes in the unitary parameters as described by the calibration results.

simulator cirq.Simulator that all the simulation requests are delegated to.
drift_generator Callable that generates the imperfect parameters for each pair of qubits and the gate. They are later used for simulation.
gates_translator Function that translates a gate to a supported FSimGate which will undergo characterization.

run

Samples from the given Circuit.

This mode of operation for a sampler will provide results in the form of measurement outcomes. It will not provide access to state vectors (even if the underlying sampling mechanism is a simulator). This method will substitute parameters in the param_resolver attributes for sympy.Symbols used within the Circuit. This circuit will be executed a number of times specified in the repetitions attribute, though some simulated implementations may instead sample from the final distribution rather than execute the circuit each time.

Args
program The circuit to sample from.
param_resolver Parameters to run with the program.
repetitions The number of times to sample.

Returns
cirq.Result that contains all the measurements for a run.

run_async

Asynchronously samples from the given Circuit.

Provides measurement outcomes as a cirq.Result object. This interface will operate in a similar way to the run method except for executing asynchronously.

Args
program The circuit to sample from.
param_resolver Parameters to run with the program.
repetitions The number of times to sample.

Returns
Result for a run.

run_batch

Runs the supplied circuits.

Each circuit provided in programs will pair with the optional associated parameter sweep provided in the params_list, and be run with the associated repetitions provided in repetitions (if repetitions is an integer, then all runs will have that number of repetitions). If params_list is specified, then the number of circuits is required to match the number of sweeps. Similarly, when repetitions is a list, the number of circuits is required to match the length of this list.

By default, this method simply invokes run_sweep sequentially for each (circuit, parameter sweep, repetitions) tuple. Child classes that are capable of sampling batches more efficiently should override it to use other strategies. Note that child classes may have certain requirements that must be met in order for a speedup to be possible, such as a constant number of repetitions being used for all circuits. Refer to the documentation of the child class for any such requirements.

Args
programs The circuits to execute as a batch.
params_list Parameter sweeps to use with the circuits. The number of sweeps should match the number of circuits and will be paired in order with the circuits.
repetitions Number of circuit repetitions to run. Can be specified as a single value to use for all runs, or as a list of values, one for each circuit.

Returns
A list of lists of TrialResults. The outer list corresponds to the circuits, while each inner list contains the TrialResults for the corresponding circuit, in the order imposed by the associated parameter sweep.

Raises
ValueError If length of programs is not equal to the length of params_list or the length of repetitions.

run_batch_async

Runs the supplied circuits asynchronously.

See docs for cirq.Sampler.run_batch.

run_sweep

Samples from the given Circuit.

This allows for sweeping over different parameter values, unlike the run method. The params argument will provide a mapping from sympy.Symbols used within the circuit to a set of values. Unlike the run method, which specifies a single mapping from symbol to value, this method allows a "sweep" of values. This allows a user to specify execution of a family of related circuits efficiently.

Args
program The circuit to sample from.
params Parameters to run with the program.
repetitions The number of times to sample.

Returns
Result list for this run; one for each possible parameter resolver.

run_sweep_async

Asynchronously samples from the given Circuit.

By default, this method invokes run_sweep synchronously and simply exposes its result is an awaitable. Child classes that are capable of true asynchronous sampling should override it to use other strategies.

Args
program The circuit to sample from.
params Parameters to run with the program.
repetitions The number of times to sample.

Returns
Result list for this run; one for each possible parameter resolver.

run_sweep_iter

View source

Runs the supplied Circuit, mimicking quantum hardware.

In contrast to run, this allows for sweeping over different parameter values.

Args
program The circuit to simulate.
params Parameters to run with the program.
repetitions The number of repetitions to simulate.

Returns
Result list for this run; one for each possible parameter resolver.

Raises
ValueError If the circuit has no measurements.

sample

Samples the given Circuit, producing a pandas data frame.

This interface will operate in a similar way to the run method except that it returns a pandas data frame rather than a cirq.Result object.

Args
program The circuit to sample from.
repetitions The number of times to sample the program, for each parameter mapping.
params Maps symbols to one or more values. This argument can be a dictionary, a list of dictionaries, a cirq.Sweep, a list of cirq.Sweep, etc. The program will be sampled repetition times for each mapping. Defaults to a single empty mapping.

Returns
A pandas.DataFrame with a row for each sample, and a column for each measurement key as well as a column for each symbolic parameter. Measurement results are stored as a big endian integer representation with one bit for each measured qubit in the key. See cirq.big_endian_int_to_bits and similar functions for how to convert this integer into bits. There is an also index column containing the repetition number, for each parameter assignment.

Raises
ValueError If a supplied sweep is invalid.

sample_expectation_values

Calculates estimated expectation values from samples of a circuit.

Please see also cirq.work.observable_measurement.measure_observables for more control over how to measure a suite of observables.

This method can be run on any device or simulator that supports circuit sampling. Compare with simulate_expectation_values in simulator.py, which is limited to simulators but provides exact results.

Args
program The circuit which prepares a state from which we sample expectation values.
observables A list of observables for which to calculate expectation values.
num_samples The number of samples to take. Increasing this value increases the statistical accuracy of the estimate.
params Parameters to run with the program.
permit_terminal_measurements If the provided circuit ends in a measurement, this method will generate an error unless this is set to True. This is meant to prevent measurements from ruining expectation value calculations.

Returns
A list of expectation-value lists. The outer index determines the sweep, and the inner index determines the observable. For instance, results[1][3] would select the fourth observable measured in the second sweep.

Raises
ValueError If the number of samples was not positive, if empty observables were supplied, or if the provided circuit has terminal measurements and permit_terminal_measurements is true.

sample_from_amplitudes

Uses amplitude simulation to sample from the given circuit.

This implements the algorithm outlined by Bravyi, Gosset, and Liu in https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.08499 to more efficiently calculate samples given an amplitude-based simulator.

Simulators which also implement SimulatesSamples or SimulatesFullState should prefer run() or simulate(), respectively, as this method only accelerates sampling for amplitude-based simulators.

Args
circuit The circuit to simulate.
param_resolver Parameters to run with the program.
seed Random state to use as a seed. This must be provided manually - if the simulator has its own seed, it will not be used unless it is passed as this argument.
repetitions The number of repetitions to simulate.
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
A dict of bitstrings sampled from the final state of circuit to the number of occurrences of that bitstring.

Raises
ValueError if 'circuit' has non-unitary elements, as differences in behavior between sampling steps break this algorithm.
