UniformDistribution

class UniformDistribution(num_target_qubits, low=0, high=1)

The Univariate Uniform Distribution.

Uniform distribution is defined by the number of qubits that should be used to represent the distribution, as well as the lower bound and upper bound of the considered interval.

Parameters

• num_target_qubits (int) – Number of qubits it acts on, has a minimum value of 1.

• low (float) – Lower bound, i.e., the value corresponding to |0…0> (assuming an equidistant grid)

• high (float) – Upper bound, i.e., the value corresponding to |1…1> (assuming an equidistant grid)
