qiskit.providers.basicaer.StatevectorSimulatorPy¶

class StatevectorSimulatorPy(configuration=None, provider=None)[Quellcode]¶

Python statevector simulator.

Base class for backends.

This method should initialize the module and its configuration, and raise an exception if a component of the module is not available.

Parameter

configuration (BackendConfiguration) – backend configuration
provider (BaseProvider) – provider responsible for this backend

Verursacht

QiskitError – if an error occurred when instantiating the backend.

__init__(configuration=None, provider=None)[Quellcode]¶

Base class for backends.

This method should initialize the module and its configuration, and raise an exception if a component of the module is not available.

Parameter

configuration (BackendConfiguration) – backend configuration
provider (BaseProvider) – provider responsible for this backend

Verursacht

QiskitError – if an error occurred when instantiating the backend.

Methods

`__init__`([configuration, provider])	Base class for backends.
`configuration`()	Return the backend configuration.
`name`()	Return the backend name.
`properties`()	Return the backend properties.
`provider`()	Return the backend Provider.
`run`(qobj[, backend_options])	Run qobj asynchronously.
`run_experiment`(experiment)	Run an experiment (circuit) and return a single experiment result.
`status`()	Return the backend status.
`version`()	Return the backend version.

Attributes

`DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION`
`DEFAULT_OPTIONS`
`MAX_QUBITS_MEMORY`
`SHOW_FINAL_STATE`

configuration()¶

Return the backend configuration.

Rückgabe: the configuration for the backend.
Rückgabetyp: BackendConfiguration

name()¶

Return the backend name.

Rückgabe: the name of the backend.
Rückgabetyp: str

properties()¶

Return the backend properties.

Rückgabe: the configuration for the backend. If the backend does not support properties, it returns None.
Rückgabetyp: BackendProperties

provider()¶

Return the backend Provider.

Rückgabe: the Provider responsible for the backend.
Rückgabetyp: BaseProvider

run(qobj, backend_options=None)[Quellcode]¶

Run qobj asynchronously.

Parameter

qobj (Qobj) – payload of the experiment
backend_options (dict) – backend options

Rückgabe

derived from BaseJob

Rückgabetyp

BasicAerJob

Additional Information:

backend_options: Is a dict of options for the backend. It may contain
    * "initial_statevector": vector_like
    * "chop_threshold": double

The "initial_statevector" option specifies a custom initial
initial statevector for the simulator to be used instead of the all
zero state. This size of this vector must be correct for the number
of qubits in all experiments in the qobj.

The "chop_threshold" option specifies a truncation value for
setting small values to zero in the output statevector. The default
value is 1e-15.

Example::

    backend_options = {
        "initial_statevector": np.array([1, 0, 0, 1j]) / np.sqrt(2),
        "chop_threshold": 1e-15
    }

run_experiment(experiment)¶

Run an experiment (circuit) and return a single experiment result.

Parameter

experiment (QobjExperiment) – experiment from qobj experiments list

Rückgabe

A result dictionary which looks something like:

{
"name": name of this experiment (obtained from qobj.experiment header)
"seed": random seed used for simulation
"shots": number of shots used in the simulation
"data":
    {
    "counts": {'0x9: 5, ...},
    "memory": ['0x9', '0xF', '0x1D', ..., '0x9']
    },
"status": status string for the simulation
"success": boolean
"time_taken": simulation time of this single experiment
}

Rückgabetyp

dict

Verursacht

BasicAerError – if an error occurred.

status()¶

Return the backend status.

Rückgabe: the status of the backend.
Rückgabetyp: BackendStatus

version()¶

Return the backend version.

Rückgabe: the X.X.X version of the backend.
Rückgabetyp: str
