add_data(new_backend_result, rerun_fit=True)

Add a new result. Re calculate fit

Paramètres

• new_backend_result (list) – list of qv results

• rerun_fit (bool) – re calculate the means and fit the result

Lève

QiskitError – If the ideal distribution isn’t loaded yet

Additional information:

Assumes that “result” was executed is the output of circuits generated by qv_circuits,

add_statevectors(new_statevector_result)

Add the ideal results and convert to the heavy outputs.

Assume the result is from “statevector_simulator”

Paramètres

new_statevector_result (list) – ideal results

Lève

QiskitError – If the result has already been added for the circuit

calc_confidence_level(z_value)

Calculate confidence level using z value.

Accumulative probability for standard normal distribution in [-z, +infinity] is 1/2 (1 + erf(z/sqrt(2))), where z = (X - mu)/sigma = (hmean - 2/3)/sigma

Paramètres

z_value (float) – z value in in standard normal distibution.

Renvoie

confidence level in decimal (not percentage).

Type renvoyé

float

calc_data()

Make a count dictionary for each unique circuit from all the results.

Calculate the heavy output probability.

Additional information:

Assumes that “result” was executed is the output of circuits generated by qv_circuits,

calc_statistics()

Convert the heavy outputs in the different trials into mean and error for plotting.

Here we assume the error is due to a binomial distribution. Error (standard deviation) for binomial distribution is sqrt(np(1-p)), where n is the number of trials (self._ntrials) and p is the success probability (self._ydata[0][depthidx]/self._ntrials).

calc_z_value(mean, sigma)

Calculate z value using mean and sigma.

Paramètres

• mean (float) – mean

• sigma (float) – standard deviation

Renvoie
