qml.iterative_qpe

iterative_qpe(base, aux_wire, iters)

Performs the iterative quantum phase estimation circuit.

Given a unitary \(U\), this function applies the circuit for iterative quantum phase estimation and returns a list of mid-circuit measurements with qubit reset.

Parameters

• base (Operator) – the phase estimation unitary, specified as an Operator

• aux_wire (Union[Wires, int, str]) – the wire to be used for the estimation

• iters (int) – the number of measurements to be performed

Returns

the abstract results of the mid-circuit measurements

Return type

list[MeasurementValue]

Example

dev = qml.device("default.qubit", shots=5)

@qml.qnode(dev)
def circuit():

    # Initial state
    qml.X(0)

    # Iterative QPE
    measurements = qml.iterative_qpe(qml.RZ(2.0, wires=[0]), aux_wire=1, iters=3)

    return qml.sample(measurements)

>>> print(circuit())
[[0 0 1]
 [0 0 1]
 [0 0 1]
 [1 1 1]
 [0 0 1]]

The output is an array of size (number of shots, number of iterations).

>>> print(qml.draw(circuit, max_length=150)())
