qiskit.circuit.Delay

class Delay(duration, unit='dt')

Do nothing and just delay/wait/idle for a specified duration.

Create new delay instruction.

__init__(duration, unit='dt')

Create new delay instruction.

Methods

__init__(duration[, unit])	Create new delay instruction.
add_decomposition(decomposition)	Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
assemble()	Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction
broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)	Validation of the arguments.
c_if(classical, val)	Add classical condition on register classical and value val.
copy([name])	Copy of the instruction.
inverse()	Special case.
is_parameterized()	Return True .IFF.
mirror()	DEPRECATED: use instruction.reverse_ops().
qasm()	Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction.
repeat(n)	Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times.
reverse_ops()	For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-instructions.
soft_compare(other)	Soft comparison between gates.
to_matrix()	Return a Numpy.array for the unitary matrix.
validate_parameter(parameter)	Instruction parameters has no validation or normalization.

Attributes

decompositions	Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
definition	Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
duration	Get the duration of this delay.
params	return instruction params.
unit	Get the time unit of duration.

add_decomposition(decomposition)

Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.

assemble()

Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction

broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)

Validation of the arguments.

매개변수

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

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

Yields

Tuple(List, List) – A tuple with single arguments.

예외

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.

copy(name=None)

Copy of the instruction.

매개변수

name (str) – name to be given to the copied circuit, if None then the name stays the same.

반환값

a copy of the current instruction, with the name

updated if it was provided

반환 형식

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

property decompositions

Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.

property definition

Return definition in terms of other basic gates.

property duration

Get the duration of this delay.

inverse()

Special case. Return self.

is_parameterized()

Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False

mirror()

DEPRECATED: use instruction.reverse_ops().

반환값

a new instruction with sub-instructions

reversed.

반환 형식

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

property params

return instruction params.

qasm()

Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction.

Derived instructions may override this to print in a different format (e.g. measure q[0] -> c[0];).

repeat(n)

Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times.

매개변수

n (int) – Number of times to repeat the instruction

반환값

Containing the definition.

반환 형식

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

예외

CircuitError – If n < 1.

reverse_ops()

For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-instructions.

This is done by recursively reversing all sub-instructions. It does not invert any gate.

반환값

a new instruction with

sub-instructions reversed.

반환 형식

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

soft_compare(other)

Soft comparison between gates. Their names, number of qubits, and classical bit numbers must match. The number of parameters must match. Each parameter is compared. If one is a ParameterExpression then it is not taken into account.

매개변수

other (instruction) – other instruction.

반환값

are self and other equal up to parameter expressions.

반환 형식

bool

to_matrix()

Return a Numpy.array for the unitary matrix. This has been added to enable simulation without making delay a full Gate type.

반환값

matrix representation.

반환 형식

np.ndarray

property unit

Get the time unit of duration.

validate_parameter(parameter)

Instruction parameters has no validation or normalization.
