r"""Probability of each computational basis state.
This measurement function accepts either a wire specification or
an observable. Passing wires to the function
instructs the QNode to return a flat array containing the
probabilities :math:`|\langle i | \psi \rangle |^2` of measuring
the computational basis state :math:`| i \rangle` given the current
state :math:`| \psi \rangle`.
Marginal probabilities may also be requested by restricting
the wires to a subset of the full system; the size of the
returned array will be ``[2**len(wires)]``.
.. Note::
If no wires or observable are given, the probability of all wires is returned.
Args:
wires (Sequence[int] or int): the wire the operation acts on
op (Observable or MeasurementValue or Sequence[MeasurementValue]): Observable (with a ``diagonalizing_gates``
attribute) that rotates the computational basis, or a ``MeasurementValue``
corresponding to mid-circuit measurements.
Returns:
ProbabilityMP: Measurement process instance
**Example:**
.. code-block:: python3
dev = qml.device("default.qubit", wires=2)
@qml.qnode(dev)
def circuit():
qml.Hadamard(wires=1)
return qml.probs(wires=[0, 1])
Executing this QNode:
>>> circuit()
array([0.5, 0.5, 0. , 0. ])
The returned array is in lexicographic order, so corresponds
to a :math:`50\%` chance of measuring either :math:`|00\rangle`
or :math:`|01\rangle`.
.. code-block:: python3
dev = qml.device("default.qubit", wires=2)
H = 1 / np.sqrt(2) * np.array([[1, 1], [1, -1]])
@qml.qnode(dev)
def circuit():
qml.Z(0)
qml.X(1)
return qml.probs(op=qml.Hermitian(H, wires=0))
>>> circuit()
array([0.14644661 0.85355339])
The returned array is in lexicographic order, so corresponds
to a :math:`14.6\%` chance of measuring the rotated :math:`|0\rangle` state
and :math:`85.4\%` of measuring the rotated :math:`|1\rangle` state.
Note that the output shape of this measurement process depends on whether
the device simulates qubit or continuous variable quantum systems.
