[docs]class CircuitSampler(ConverterBase): """ The CircuitSampler traverses an Operator and converts any CircuitStateFns into approximations of the state function by a DictStateFn or VectorStateFn using a quantum backend. Note that in order to approximate the value of the CircuitStateFn, it must 1) send state function through a depolarizing channel, which will destroy all phase information and 2) replace the sampled frequencies with **square roots** of the frequency, rather than the raw probability of sampling (which would be the equivalent of sampling the **square** of the state function, per the Born rule. The CircuitSampler aggressively caches transpiled circuits to handle re-parameterization of the same circuit efficiently. If you are converting multiple different Operators, you are better off using a different CircuitSampler for each Operator to avoid cache thrashing.
