[docs]class QPUDevice(QuantumComputerDevice): r"""Rigetti QPU device for PennyLane. Args: device (str): the name of the device to initialise. shots (int): number of circuit evaluations/random samples used to estimate expectation values of observables. wires (Iterable[Number, str]): Iterable that contains unique labels for the qubits as numbers or strings (i.e., ``['q1', ..., 'qN']``). The number of labels must match the number of qubits accessible on the backend. If not provided, qubits are addressed as consecutive integers ``[0, 1, ...]``, and their number is inferred from the backend. active_reset (bool): whether to actively reset qubits instead of waiting for for qubits to decay to the ground state naturally. Setting this to ``True`` results in a significantly faster expectation value evaluation when the number of shots is larger than ~1000. load_qc (bool): set to False to avoid getting the quantum computing device on initialization. This is convenient if not currently connected to the QPU. readout_error (list): specifies the conditional probabilities [p(0|0), p(1|1)], where p(i|j) denotes the prob of reading out i having sampled j; can be set to `None` if no readout errors need to be simulated; can only be set for the QPU-as-a-QVM symmetrize_readout (pyquil.experiment.SymmetrizationLevel): method to perform readout symmetrization, using exhaustive symmetrization by default calibrate_readout (str): method to perform calibration for readout error mitigation, normalizing by the expectation value in the +1-eigenstate of the observable by default Keyword args: compiler_timeout (int): number of seconds to wait for a response from quilc (default 10). execution_timeout (int): number of seconds to wait for a response from the QVM (default 10). parametric_compilation (bool): a boolean value of whether or not to use parametric compilation.
