qiskit.visualization.plot_state_hinton

qiskit.visualization.plot_state_hinton(state, title='', figsize=None, ax_real=None, ax_imag=None, *, rho=None, filename=None)

Plot a hinton diagram for the density matrix of a quantum state.

The hinton diagram represents the values of a matrix using squares, whose size indicate the magnitude of their corresponding value and their color, its sign. A white square means the value is positive and a black one means negative.

Obsoleto desde a versão 0.15.1: qiskit.visualization.state_visualization.plot_state_hinton()”s argument rho is deprecated as of qiskit-terra 0.15.1. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Instead, use the argument state, which behaves identically.

Parâmetros:

• state (Statevector or DensityMatrix or ndarray) – An N-qubit quantum state.

• title (str) – a string that represents the plot title

• figsize (tuple) – Figure size in inches.

• filename (str) – file path to save image to.

• ax_real (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – An optional Axes object to be used for the visualization output. If none is specified a new matplotlib Figure will be created and used. If this is specified without an ax_imag only the real component plot will be generated. Additionally, if specified there will be no returned Figure since it is redundant.

• ax_imag (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – An optional Axes object to be used for the visualization output. If none is specified a new matplotlib Figure will be created and used. If this is specified without an ax_imag only the real component plot will be generated. Additionally, if specified there will be no returned Figure since it is redundant.

Retorno:

The matplotlib.Figure of the visualization if neither ax_real or ax_imag is set.

Tipo de retorno:

matplotlib.figure.Figure

Levanta:

• MissingOptionalLibraryError – Requires matplotlib.

• VisualizationError – if input is not a valid N-qubit state.

Examples

import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.quantum_info import DensityMatrix
from qiskit.visualization import plot_state_hinton

qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
qc.h([0, 1])
qc.cz(0,1)
qc.ry(np.pi/3 , 0)
qc.rx(np.pi/5, 1)

state = DensityMatrix(qc)
plot_state_hinton(state, title="New Hinton Plot")
