RoughFrequencyCal

class RoughFrequencyCal(physical_qubits, calibrations, frequencies, backend=None, auto_update=True, absolute=True, cal_parameter_name='drive_freq')[source]

A calibration experiment that runs QubitSpectroscopy to calibrate the qubit transition frequency.

Experiment options

These options can be set by the set_experiment_options() method.

Options
  • Defined in the class BaseCalibrationExperiment:

    • result_index (int)

      Default value: -1
      The index of the result from which to update the calibrations.
    • group (str)

      Default value: "default"
      The calibration group to which the parameter belongs. This will default to the value “default”.
  • Defined in the class Spectroscopy:

    • amp (float)

      Default value: 0.1
      The amplitude of the spectroscopy pulse. Defaults to 0.1 and must be between 0 and 1.
    • duration (int)

      Default value: 2.4e-07
      The duration of the spectroscopy pulse. Defaults to 1024 samples.
    • sigma (float)

      Default value: 6e-08
      The standard deviation of the flanks of the spectroscopy pulse. Defaults to 256.
    • width (int)

      Default value: 0
      The width of the flat-top part of the GaussianSquare pulse. Defaults to 0.
  • Defined in the class BaseExperiment:

    • max_circuits (Optional[int])

      Default value: None
      The maximum number of circuits per job when running an experiment on a backend.

Initialization

See QubitSpectroscopy for detailed documentation.

Parameters:
  • physical_qubits (Sequence[int]) – List with the qubit on which to run spectroscopy.

  • calibrations (Calibrations) – If calibrations is given then running the experiment may update the values of the frequencies stored in calibrations.

  • frequencies (Iterable[float]) – The frequencies to scan in the experiment, in Hz.

  • backend (Backend | None) – Optional, the backend to run the experiment on.

  • auto_update (bool) – If set to True, which is the default, then the experiment will automatically update the frequency in the calibrations.

  • absolute (bool) – Boolean to specify if the frequencies are absolute or relative to the qubit frequency in the backend.

  • cal_parameter_name (str | None) – The name of the parameter to update in the calibrations. This defaults to drive_freq.

Raises:

QiskitError – If there are less than three frequency shifts.

Attributes

analysis

Return the analysis instance for the experiment.

Note

Analysis instance set to calibration experiment is implicitly patched to run calibration updater to update the parameters in the calibration table.

backend

Return the backend for the experiment

calibrations

Return the calibrations.

experiment_options

Return the options for the experiment.

experiment_type

Return experiment type.

num_qubits

Return the number of qubits for the experiment.

physical_qubits

Return the device qubits for the experiment.

run_options

Return options values for the experiment run() method.

transpile_options

Return the transpiler options for the run() method.

Methods

circuits()

Create the circuit for the spectroscopy experiment.

The circuits are based on a GaussianSquare pulse and a frequency_shift instruction encapsulated in a gate.

Returns:

The circuits that will run the spectroscopy experiment.

Return type:

circuits

config()

Return the config dataclass for this experiment

Return type:

ExperimentConfig

copy()

Return a copy of the experiment

Return type:

BaseExperiment

classmethod from_config(config)

Initialize an experiment from experiment config

Return type:

BaseExperiment

job_info(backend=None)

Get information about job distribution for the experiment on a specific backend.

Parameters:

backend (Backend) – Optional, the backend for which to get job distribution information. If not specified, the experiment must already have a set backend.

Returns:

A dictionary containing information about job distribution.

  • ”Total number of circuits in the experiment”: Total number of circuits in the experiment.

  • ”Maximum number of circuits per job”: Maximum number of circuits in one job based on backend and experiment settings.

  • ”Total number of jobs”: Number of jobs needed to run this experiment on the currently set backend.

Return type:

dict

Raises:

QiskitError – if backend is not specified.

run(backend=None, analysis='default', timeout=None, **run_options)

Run an experiment and perform analysis.

Parameters:
  • backend (Backend | None) – Optional, the backend to run the experiment on. This will override any currently set backends for the single execution.

  • analysis (BaseAnalysis | None) – Optional, a custom analysis instance to use for performing analysis. If None analysis will not be run. If "default" the experiments analysis() instance will be used if it contains one.

  • timeout (float | None) – Time to wait for experiment jobs to finish running before cancelling.

  • run_options – backend runtime options used for circuit execution.

Returns:

The experiment data object.

Raises:

QiskitError – If experiment is run with an incompatible existing ExperimentData container.

Return type:

ExperimentData

set_experiment_options(**fields)

Set the experiment options.

Parameters:

fields – The fields to update the options

Raises:

AttributeError – If the field passed in is not a supported options

set_run_options(**fields)

Set options values for the experiment run() method.

Parameters:

fields – The fields to update the options

See also

The Setting options for your experiment guide for code example.

set_transpile_options(**fields)

Add a warning message.

Note

If your experiment has overridden _transpiled_circuits and needs transpile options then please also override set_transpile_options.

update_calibrations(experiment_data)

Update parameter values in the Calibrations instance.

The default behaviour is to call the update method of the class variable __updater__ with simplistic options. Subclasses can override this method to update the instance of Calibrations if they require a more sophisticated behaviour as is the case for the Rabi and FineAmplitude calibration experiments.
