Simulators

The MrAndersonSimulator is a statevector simulator for the noisy quantum gates approach.

Classes

MrAndersonSimulator

We refer to the demo for a usage sample of the simulator. The simulator has three attributes. While the gates attribute implicitely specifies the pulse shape, the CircuitClass knows how to perform the matrix-vector multiplication seen in the statevector simulation. Last, the parallel attribute specifies whether or not the shots should be executed in parallel with multiprocessing. In general, we recommend to parallelize the outer loop of the simulation, and not the shots, as it comes with a large overhead.

from quantum_gates.simulators import MrAndersonSimulator
from quantum_gates.gates import standard_gates
from quantum_gates.circuits import EfficientCircuit

sim = MrAndersonSimulator(
    gates==standard_gates,
    CircuitClass=EfficientCircuit,
    parallel=False
)

sim.run(t_qiskit_circ=...,
        qubits_layout=...,
        psi0=np.array([1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]),
        shots=1000,
        device_param=...,
        nqubit=2)
