qat.qpus.CLinalg

For a general description of linear-algebra-based simulators, please refer to the PyLinalg documentation page.

High-level Quantum Processing Unit

class qat.qpus.CLinalg(use_nbthreads_heuristic: bool = True, precision: int = 2, sparse: bool | None = None, light_circuit: bool = False, tqdm: bool = False, fusion: bool = True, readonly_statevector: bool = False, individual_terms_values: bool = False, seed: int = None, **kwargs)

CLinalg simulator

Parameters:
  • use_nbthreads_heuristic (bool) – use heuristic for choosing the number of threads setting this parameter to False will result in using OMP_NUM_THREADS Default: True

  • precision (int) – precision used for the simulation, either 1(single) or 2(double) Default: 2

  • sparse (bool) – whether or not to return a sparse result Default: False

  • light_circuit (bool) – deprecated, only works for some named gates Default: False

  • tqdm (bool) – use tqdm to display progress in simulating the circuit Default: False

  • fusion (bool) – use the FusionPlugin as a pre-processing step, merging gates together (only for at least 23 qubits) Default: True

  • readonly_statevector (bool) – the statevector included in the result is returned directly in memory from the C++ array. This statevector will then be in convention lsb first. This option only makes sense for perfect sampling where all qubits are measured. Default: False

  • individual_terms_values (bool) – if True, each observable term exceptation value will be individually filled into value_data and error_data maps. Slight performance decrease. Default: False

  • seed (int) – seed of the random number generator Default: None (will use a random seed)

submit(batch: Batch, meta_data: dict = None) → BatchResult

Executes a batch of jobs and returns the corresponding list of Results.

Parameters:

batch (Batch) – a batch of jobs. If a single job is provided, the job is embedded into a Batch, executed, and the first result is returned.

Returns:

a batch result

Return type:

(BatchResult)

This high-level class wrapping the simulator follows the convention of the qat.qpus.QPUHandler structure.

CLinAlg is an alias of CLinalg.
