arithmetic_depth¶: Arithmetic depth of the operator.

basis¶

The basis of an operation, or for controlled gates, of the target operation. If not None, should take a value of "X", "Y", or "Z".

For example, X and CNOT have basis = "X", whereas ControlledPhaseShift and RZ have basis = "Z".

Type:: str or None

batch_size¶

Batch size of the operator if it is used with broadcasted parameters.

The batch_size is determined based on ndim_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 is None.

Returns:: Size of the parameter broadcasting dimension if present, else None.
Return type:: int or None

control_wires¶

Control wires of the operator.

For operations that are not controlled, this is an empty Wires object of length 0.

Returns:: The control wires of the operation.
Return type:: Wires

grad_method = 'A'¶

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:: tuple(Union(list[list[float]], None)) or None

has_adjoint = False¶

has_decomposition = False¶

has_diagonalizing_gates = False¶

has_generator = False¶

has_matrix = False¶

has_sparse_matrix = False¶

hash¶

Integer hash that uniquely represents the operator.

Type:: int

hyperparameters¶

Dictionary of non-trainable variables that this operation depends on.

Type:: dict

id¶: Custom string to label a specific operator instance.

is_hermitian¶: This property determines if an operator is hermitian.

name¶: String for the name of the operator.

ndim_params¶

Number of dimensions per trainable parameter of the operator.

By default, this property returns the numbers of dimensions of the parameters used for the operator creation. If the parameter sizes for an operator subclass are fixed, this property can be overwritten to return the fixed value.

Returns:: Number of dimensions for each trainable parameter.
Return type:: tuple

num_params = 1¶

num_wires: Union[int, WiresEnum] = 2¶: Number of wires the operator acts on.

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,)

For more details on this relationship, see eigvals_to_frequencies().

parameters¶: Trainable parameters that the operator depends on.

pauli_rep¶: A PauliSentence representation of the Operator, or None if it doesn’t have one.

Given the eigendecomposition \(O = U \Sigma U^{\dagger}\) where \(\Sigma\) is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues, the sequence of diagonalizing gates implements the unitary \(U^{\dagger}\).

The diagonalizing gates rotate the state into the eigenbasis of the operator.

If diagonalizing_gates are specified and implement a unitary \(U^{\dagger}\), the operator can be reconstructed as

\[O = U \Sigma U^{\dagger},\]

See also

compute_decomposition().

Returns:: decomposition of the operator
Return type:: list[Operator]

Sequence of gates that diagonalize the operator in the computational basis.

Given the eigendecomposition \(O = U \Sigma U^{\dagger}\) where \(\Sigma\) is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues, the sequence of diagonalizing gates implements the unitary \(U^{\dagger}\).

The diagonalizing gates rotate the state into the eigenbasis of the operator.

A DiagGatesUndefinedError is raised if no representation by decomposition is defined.

See also

compute_diagonalizing_gates().

Returns:: a list of operators
Return type:: list[.Operator] or None

eigvals() → TensorLike¶

Eigenvalues of the operator in the computational basis.

If diagonalizing_gates are specified and implement a unitary \(U^{\dagger}\), the operator can be reconstructed as

\[O = U \Sigma U^{\dagger},\]

where \(\Sigma\) is the diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues.

Otherwise, no particular order for the eigenvalues is guaranteed.

Note

When eigenvalues are not explicitly defined, they are computed automatically from the matrix representation. Currently, this computation is not differentiable.

A EigvalsUndefinedError is raised if the eigenvalues have not been defined and cannot be inferred from the matrix representation.

See also

compute_eigvals()

Returns:: eigenvalues
Return type:: tensor_like

generator()¶

Generator of an operator that is in single-parameter-form.

For example, for operator

\[U(\phi) = e^{i\phi (0.5 Y + Z\otimes X)}\]

we get the generator

>>> U.generator()
  0.5 * Y(0) + Z(0) @ X(1)

The generator may also be provided in the form of a dense or sparse Hamiltonian (using Hamiltonian and SparseHamiltonian respectively).

The default value to return is None, indicating that the operation has no defined generator.

label(decimals: Optional[int] = None, base_label: Optional[str] = None, cache: Optional[dict] = None) → str¶
