virtual void Simulators::IState::InitializeToMixtureOfBasisStates	(	size_t	num_qubits,

inlinevirtualinherited

Initializes the state to a classical mixture of computational basis states.

Same as the Types::qubit_t-keyed overload, but each basis state is given as one bool per qubit so it is not limited to 64 qubits. Currently only the matrix product operator backend supports this.

Parameters

num_qubits	The number of qubits to initialize the state with.
mixture	The mixture, as pairs of (basis state, weight).

Definition at line 281 of file State.h.

◆ InitializeToMixtureOfBasisStates() [2/2]

virtual void Simulators::IState::InitializeToMixtureOfBasisStates	(	size_t	num_qubits,
		const std::vector< std::pair< Types::qubit_t, double > > &	mixture )

inlinevirtualinherited

Initializes the state to a classical mixture of computational basis states.

Sets the state to rho = sum_k weights[k] |states[k]><states[k]|. Call it only on a non-initialized state, it allocates the qubits and initializes the state itself. Weights are normalized so the trace is 1; only backends that can represent a mixed state support this - currently the density matrix and matrix product operator backends. Other backends throw, and there is no generic fallback: unlike a basis state, a mixture cannot be reached with unitary gates alone.

Don't use it for more than 64 qubits, as each basis state is packed in a single Types::qubit_t; use the std::vector<bool>-keyed overload instead for the matrix product operator backend, which can scale that far.

Parameters

num_qubits	The number of qubits to initialize the state with.
mixture	The mixture, as pairs of (basis state, weight).

◆ MeasureNoCollapse()

virtual Types::qubit_t Simulators::IState::MeasureNoCollapse ( )

pure virtualinherited

This is to be used only internally, only for the statevector simulators (or those based on them, as the composite ones). For the qiskit aer case, SaveStateToInternalDestructive is needed to be called before this. If one wants to use the simulator after such measurement(s), RestoreInternalDestructiveSavedState should be called at the end.

Don't use this for more qubits than the size of Types::qubit_t, as the result is packed in a limited number of bits (e.g. 64 bits for uint64_t)

inlinevirtualinherited

Sets the initial qubits map, if possible.

This will do nothing for most simulators, but for the MPS simulator it will set the initial qubits if it supports it - that is, for qcsim and the gpu simulator it can set the mapping of the qubits to the positions in the chain, which can be used to optimize the swapping cost.

◆ SetLookaheadDepth()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetLookaheadDepth ( int )

inlinevirtualinherited

Sets the lookahead depth for swap optimization.

Controls how many upcoming 2-qubit gates are considered when choosing the swap meeting position. 0 means no lookahead (immediate cost only). Only effective for MPS simulators. Requires upcoming gates to be supplied via SetUpcomingGates.

Definition at line 337 of file State.h.

◆ SetLookaheadDepthWithHeuristic()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetLookaheadDepthWithHeuristic ( int )

inlinevirtualinherited

Sets the lookahead depth for swap optimization.

Controls how many upcoming 2-qubit gates are considered when choosing the swap meeting position. 0 means no lookahead (immediate cost only). Only effective for MPS simulators. Requires upcoming gates to be supplied via SetUpcomingGates. This value sets a number of gates to lookahead without much cost increase.

◆ SetMultithreading()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetMultithreading ( bool multithreading = true )

pure virtualinherited

Enable/disable multithreading.

Enable/disable multithreading. Default is enabled.

Parameters

multithreading A flag to indicate if multithreading should be enabled.

Referenced by SetMultithreading().

◆ SetSeed()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetSeed ( uint64_t seed )

inlinevirtualinherited

Seed every random stream owned by this simulator.

References Configure().

◆ SetUpcomingGates()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetUpcomingGates ( const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< Circuits::IOperation< double > > > & )

inlinevirtualinherited

Supplies upcoming gates for lookahead swap optimization.

The simulator uses these to evaluate swap costs for future gates when choosing where to meet. Only effective for MPS simulators with lookahead depth > 0.

◆ SetUseOptimalMeetingPosition()

virtual void Simulators::IState::SetUseOptimalMeetingPosition ( bool )

inlinevirtualinherited

Enables or disables optimal meeting position for MPS swaps.

When enabled, the MPS simulator uses actual bond dimensions to find the cheapest meeting position for non-adjacent qubit swaps instead of the default heuristic. Does nothing for non-MPS simulators.

Definition at line 327 of file State.h.

◆ SupportsMPSSwapOptimization()

virtual bool Simulators::IState::SupportsMPSSwapOptimization ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Returns if the simulator supports MPS swap optimization.

Used to check if the simulator supports MPS swap optimization.

Returns: True if the simulator supports MPS swap optimization, false otherwise.

Definition at line 306 of file State.h.

◆ SupportsQuantumChannels()

virtual bool Simulators::IState::SupportsQuantumChannels ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Returns whether this state retains channel ensembles directly.

This is true for QCSim density-matrix/MPO states and Aer density-matrix states. MPO results remain subject to configured bond truncation. A statevector or MPS can sample Kraus trajectories, but does not retain the resulting ensemble in a single state.

◆ TrimMatrixProductOperator()

virtual void Simulators::IState::TrimMatrixProductOperator ( )

inlinevirtualinherited

Definition at line 524 of file State.h.

◆ UnregisterObserver()

void Simulators::IState::UnregisterObserver ( const std::shared_ptr< ISimulatorObserver > & observer )

inlineinherited

Unregisters an observer.

Unegisters an observer.

See also: ISimulatorObserver

Parameters

observer A smart pointer to an observer.
