class BaseCoherenceFitter(description, backend_result, xdata, qubits, fit_fun, fit_p0, fit_bounds, circuit_names, series=None, expected_state='0', time_index=0, time_unit='micro-seconds')

Base class for fitters of characteristic times

Parameter

• description (str) – description of the fitter’s purpose, e.g. ‚T1‘.

• backend_result (Union[Result, List[Result]]) – result of execution on the backend.

• xdata (Union[List[float], array]) – delay times of the circuits.

• qubits (List[int]) – the qubits to be characterized.

• fit_fun (Callable[…, float]) – equivalent to parameter f of scipy.curve_fit.

• fit_p0 (List[float]) – equivalent to parameter p0 of scipy.curve_fit.

• fit_bounds (Tuple[List[float], List[float]]) – equivalent to parameter bounds of scipy.curve_fit.

• circuit_names (List[str]) – names of the circuits, should be the same length as xdata. Full circuit name will be these plus the series name.

• series (Optional[List[str]]) – list of circuit name tags

• expected_state (str) – is the circuit supposed to end up in ‚0‘ or ‚1‘?

• time_index (int) – among parameters of fit_fun, which one is the characteristic time.

• time_unit (str) – unit of delay times in xdata.
