ArbitraryStatePreparation
(weights, wires, id=None)[source]¶ Bases:
pennylane.operation.Operation
Implements an arbitrary state preparation on the specified wires.
An arbitrary state on \(n\) wires is parametrized by \(2^{n+1} - 2\) independent real parameters. This templates uses Pauli word rotations to parametrize the unitary.
- Parameters
weights (tensor_like) – Angles of the Pauli word rotations. Needs to have length \(2^{n+1} - 2\) where \(n\) is the number of wires the template acts upon.
wires (Iterable) – wires that the template acts on
Example
ArbitraryStatePreparation can be used to train state preparations, for example using a circuit with some measurement observable
H
:dev = qml.device("default.qubit", wires=4) @qml.qnode(dev) def vqe(weights): qml.ArbitraryStatePreparation(weights, wires=[0, 1, 2, 3]) return qml.expval(qml.Hermitian(H, wires=[0, 1, 2, 3]))
The shape of the weights parameter can be computed as follows:
shape = qml.ArbitraryStatePreparation.shape(n_wires=4)

.- Type
str or None
-
batch_size
¶ Batch size of the operator if it is used with broadcasted parameters.
The
batch_size
is determined based onndim_params
and the provided parameters for the operator. If (some of) the latter have an additional dimension, and this dimension has the same size for all parameters, its size is the batch size of the operator. If no parameter has an additional dimension, the batch size isNone
.- Returns
Size of the parameter broadcasting dimension if present, else
None

grad_recipe
= None¶ Gradient recipe for the parameter-shift method.
This is a tuple with one nested list per operation parameter. For parameter \(\phi_k\), the nested list contains elements of the form \([c_i, a_i, s_i]\) where \(i\) is the index of the term, resulting in a gradient recipe of
\[\frac{\partial}{\partial\phi_k}f = \sum_{i} c_i f(a_i \phi_k + s_i).\]If
None
, the default gradient recipe containing the two terms \([c_0, a_0, s_0]=[1/2, 1, \pi/2]\) and \([c_1, a_1, s_1]=[-1/2, 1, -\pi/2]\) is assumed for every parameter.- Type

-
parameter_frequencies
¶ Returns the frequencies for each operator parameter with respect to an expectation value of the form \(\langle \psi | U(\mathbf{p})^\dagger \hat{O} U(\mathbf{p})|\psi\rangle\).
These frequencies encode the behaviour of the operator \(U(\mathbf{p})\) on the value of the expectation value as the parameters are modified. For more details, please see the
pennylane.fourier
module.- Returns
Tuple of frequencies for each parameter. Note that only non-negative frequency values are returned.
- Return type
list[tuple[int or float]]
Example
>>> op = qml.CRot(0.4, 0.1, 0.3, wires=[0, 1]) >>> op.parameter_frequencies [(0.5, 1), (0.5, 1), (0.5, 1)]
For operators that define a generator, the parameter frequencies are directly related to the eigenvalues of the generator:
>>> op = qml.ControlledPhaseShift(0.1, wires=[0, 1]) >>> op.parameter_frequencies [(1,)] >>> gen = qml.generator(op, format="observable") >>> gen_eigvals = qml.eigvals(gen) >>> qml.gradients.eigvals_to_frequencies(tuple(gen_eigvals)) (1.0,)
