cirq_google.ops.internal_gate.function_points_to_proto

Return CustomArg that expresses a function through its x and y values.

cirq_google.ops.internal_gate.function_points_to_proto(
    x: (Sequence[float] | np.ndarray),
    y: (Sequence[float] | np.ndarray),
    msg: (program_pb2.CustomArg | None) = None
) -> program_pb2.CustomArg

Args
`x`	Sequence of values of the free variable. For 1D functions, this input is assumed to be given in increasing order.
`y`	Sequence of values of the dependent variable. Where y[i] = func(x[i]) where `func` is the function being encoded.
`msg`	Optional CustomArg to serialize to. If not provided a CustomArg is created.

Returns
A CustomArg encoding the function.

Raises
`ValueError`	If `x` is 1D and not sorted in increasing order. `x` and `y` don't have the same number of points. `y` is multidimensional. `x` is multidimensional.

Raises

ValueError

x is 1D and not sorted in increasing order.
x and y don't have the same number of points.
y is multidimensional.
x is multidimensional.
