IterativePhaseEstimation¶

class IterativePhaseEstimation(num_iterations, quantum_instance=None)[source]¶

Bases: qiskit.algorithms.phase_estimators.phase_estimator.PhaseEstimator

Run the Iterative quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithm.

Given a unitary circuit and a circuit preparing an eigenstate, return the phase of the eigenvalue as a number in \([0,1)\) using the iterative phase estimation algorithm.

Parameters

num_iterations (int) – The number of iterations (rounds) of the phase estimation to run.
quantum_instance (Union[Backend, BaseBackend, QuantumInstance, None]) – The quantum instance on which the circuit will be run.

Raises

ValueError – if num_iterations is not greater than zero.

Methods

`construct_circuit`	Construct the kth iteration Quantum Phase Estimation circuit.
`estimate`	Estimate the eigenphase of the input unitary and initial-state pair.
