qiskit.pulse.instructions.ShiftFrequency

class ShiftFrequency(frequency, channel, name=None)

Shift the channel frequency away from the current frequency.

Creates a new shift frequency instruction.

Parameters

• frequency (Union[float, ParameterExpression]) – Frequency shift of the channel in Hz.

• channel (PulseChannel) – The channel this instruction operates on.

• name (Optional[str]) – Name of this set channel frequency instruction.

__init__(frequency, channel, name=None)

Creates a new shift frequency instruction.

Parameters

• frequency (Union[float, ParameterExpression]) – Frequency shift of the channel in Hz.

• channel (PulseChannel) – The channel this instruction operates on.

• name (Optional[str]) – Name of this set channel frequency instruction.

Schedule

assign_parameters(value_dict)

Modify and return self with parameters assigned according to the input.
