qml.estimator.ops.PhaseShift

class PhaseShift(precision=None, wires=None)[source]

Bases: ResourceOperator

Resource class for the PhaseShift gate.

Parameters:
  • precision (float | None) – The error threshold for the Clifford + T decomposition of this operation. The default value is None which corresponds to using the precision stated in the ResourceConfig.

  • wires (Any or Wires | None) – The wires the operation acts on.

Resources:

The phase shift gate is equivalent to a Z-rotation up to some global phase, as defined from the following identity:

\[\begin{split}R_\phi(\phi) = e^{i\phi/2}R_z(\phi) = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & e^{i\phi} \end{bmatrix}.\end{split}\]

Example

The resources for this operation are computed as:

>>> qml.estimator.PhaseShift.resource_decomp()
[(1 x RZ), (1 x GlobalPhase)]

num_wires

resource_keys

resource_params

Returns a dictionary containing the minimal information needed to compute the resources.

num_wires = 1
resource_keys = {'precision'}
resource_params

Returns a dictionary containing the minimal information needed to compute the resources.

Returns:

A dictionary containing the resource parameters:
  • precision (float | None): the number of qubits the operation is controlled on

Return type:

dict

adjoint_resource_decomp(target_resource_params)

Returns a list representing the resources for the adjoint of the operator.

controlled_resource_decomp(num_ctrl_wires, ...)

Returns a list representing the resources for a controlled version of the operator.

pow_resource_decomp(pow_z, ...)

Returns a list representing the resources for an operator raised to a power.

resource_decomp([precision])

Returns a list representing the resources of the operator.

resource_rep([precision])

Returns a compressed representation containing only the parameters of the operator that are needed to compute the resources.

classmethod adjoint_resource_decomp(target_resource_params)[source]

Returns a list representing the resources for the adjoint of the operator.

Parameters:

target_resource_params (dict) – A dictionary containing the resource parameters of the target operator.

Resources:

The adjoint of a phase shift operator just changes the sign of the phase, thus the resources of the adjoint operation are same as the original operation.

Returns:

A list of GateCount objects, where each object represents a specific quantum gate and the number of times it appears in the decomposition.

Return type:

list[GateCount]

classmethod controlled_resource_decomp(num_ctrl_wires, num_zero_ctrl, target_resource_params)[source]

Returns a list representing the resources for a controlled version of the operator.

Parameters:
  • num_ctrl_wires (int) – the number of qubits the operation is controlled on

  • num_zero_ctrl (int) – the number of control qubits, that are controlled when in the \(|0\rangle\) state

  • target_resource_params (dict) – A dictionary containing the resource parameters of the target operator.

classmethod pow_resource_decomp(pow_z, target_resource_params)[source]

Returns a list representing the resources for an operator raised to a power.

Parameters:
  • pow_z (int) – the power that the operator is being raised to

  • target_resource_params (dict) – A dictionary containing the resource parameters of the target operator.

Resources:

Taking arbitrary powers of a phase shift produces a sum of shifts. The resources simplify to just one total phase shift operator.

Returns:

A list of GateCount objects, where each object represents a specific quantum gate and the number of times it appears in the decomposition.

Return type:

list[GateCount]

classmethod resource_decomp(precision=None)[source]

Returns a list representing the resources of the operator. Each object represents a quantum gate and the number of times it occurs in the decomposition.

Keyword Arguments:

precision (float) – error threshold for the Clifford + T decomposition of this operation

Resources:

The phase shift gate is equivalent to a Z-rotation upto some global phase, as defined in the following identity:

\[\begin{split}R_\phi(\phi) = e^{i\phi/2}R_z(\phi) = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & e^{i\phi} \end{bmatrix}.\end{split}\]
Returns:

A list of GateCount objects, where each object represents a specific quantum gate and the number of times it appears in the decomposition.

Return type:

list[GateCount]

classmethod resource_rep(precision=None)[source]

Returns a compressed representation containing only the parameters of the operator that are needed to compute the resources.

Parameters:

precision (float | None) – The error threshold for the Clifford + T decomposition of this operation.

Returns:

A compressed representation of the operator.

Return type:

CompressedResourceOp
