qiskit.extensions.HamiltonianGate

class HamiltonianGate(data, time, label=None)

Class for representing evolution by a Hermitian Hamiltonian operator as a gate. This gate resolves to a UnitaryGate U(t) = exp(-1j * t * H), which can be decomposed into basis gates if it is 2 qubits or less, or simulated directly in Aer for more qubits.

• time (float) – time evolution parameter.

• label (str) – unitary name for backend [Default: None].

Lève

ExtensionError – if input data is not an N-qubit unitary operator.

__init__(data, time, label=None)

Instruction

broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)

Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.

For example, cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2]) means cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2]). This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:

in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
      [q[1], q[2]], []

The general broadcasting rules are:

• If len(qargs) == 1:

  [q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]
  

• If len(qargs) == 2:

  [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]]
  [[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]]
  [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]
  

• If len(qargs) >= 3:

  [q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]],  ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]
  

Paramètres

• qargs (List) – List of quantum bit arguments.

• cargs (List) – List of classical bit arguments.

Type renvoyé

Tuple[List, List]

Renvoie

A tuple with single arguments.

Lève

CircuitError – If the input is not valid. For example, the number of arguments does not match the gate expectation.

c_if(classical, val)

Add classical condition on register classical and value val.

conjugate()

Return the conjugate of the Hamiltonian.

control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)

Return controlled version of gate. See ControlledGate for usage.

Paramètres

• num_ctrl_qubits (Optional[int]) – number of controls to add to gate (default=1)

• label (Optional[str]) – optional gate label

• ctrl_state (Union[int, str, None]) – The control state in decimal or as a bitstring (e.g. “111”). If None, use 2**num_ctrl_qubits-1.

Renvoie

Controlled version of gate. This default algorithm uses num_ctrl_qubits-1 ancillae qubits so returns a gate of size num_qubits + 2*num_ctrl_qubits - 1.
