PulseSystemModel

class PulseSystemModel(hamiltonian=None, u_channel_lo=None, control_channel_labels=None, subsystem_list=None, dt=None)

Bases: object

Physical model object for pulse simulator.

This class contains model information required by the PulseSimulator. It contains:

• "hamiltonian": a HamiltonianModel object representing the Hamiltonian of the system.

• "u_channel_lo": A description of ControlChannel local oscillator frequencies in terms of qubit local oscillator frequencies.

• "control_channel_labels": Optional list of identifying information for each ControlChannel that the model supports.

• "subsystem_list": List of subsystems in the model.

• "dt": Sample width size for OpenPulse instructions.

A model can be instantiated from the helper function duffing_system_model(), or using the PulseSystemModel.from_backend() constructor.

Example

Constructing from a backend:

Initialize a PulseSystemModel.

Parameters

• hamiltonian (HamiltonianModel) – The Hamiltonian of the system.

• u_channel_lo (list) – list of ControlChannel frequency specifications.

• control_channel_labels (list) – list of labels for control channels, which can be of any type.

• subsystem_list (list) – list of valid qubit indicies for the model.

• dt (float) – pixel size for pulse Instructions.

Raises

AerError – if hamiltonian is not None or a HamiltonianModel

Methods

control_channel_index	Return the index of the control channel with identifying label.
from_backend	Returns a PulseSystemModel constructed from an OpenPulse enabled backend object.
from_config	Construct a model from configuration and defaults.
