MitigatedProcessTomography

class MitigatedProcessTomography(circuit, backend=None, physical_qubits=None, measurement_indices=None, preparation_indices=None, basis_indices=None, conditional_circuit_clbits=False, analysis='default')

A batched experiment to characterize readout error then perform process tomography for doing readout error mitigated process tomography.

Overview

Readout error mitigated Quantum process tomography is a batch experiment consisting of a LocalReadoutError characterization experiments, followed by a ProcessTomography experiment.

During analysis the assignment matrix local readout error model is used to automatically construct a noisy Pauli measurement basis for performing readout error mitigated process tomography fitting.

Experiment options

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

Options

• Defined in the class BatchExperiment:

  • separate_jobs (Boolean)

    Default value: False

    Whether to route different sub-experiments to different jobs.

• 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.

Note

Performing readout error mitigation full process tomography on an N-qubit circuit requires running 2 readout error characterization circuits and \(4^N 3^N\) measurement circuits using the Pauli preparation and measurement bases.

Initialization

Initialize a quantum process tomography experiment.

Parameters:

• circuit (QuantumCircuit | Instruction | BaseOperator) – the quantum process circuit. If not a quantum circuit it must be a class that can be appended to a quantum circuit.

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

• physical_qubits (Sequence[int] | None) – Optional, the physical qubits for the initial state circuit. If None this will be qubits [0, N) for an N-qubit circuit.

• measurement_indices (Sequence[int] | None) – Optional, the physical_qubits indices to be measured. If None all circuit physical qubits will be measured.

• preparation_indices (Sequence[int] | None) – Optional, the physical_qubits indices to be prepared. If None all circuit physical qubits will be prepared.

• basis_indices (Iterable[Tuple[List[int], List[int]]] | None) – Optional, a list of basis indices for generating partial tomography measurement data. Each item should be given as a pair of lists of preparation and measurement basis configurations ([p[0], p[1], ...], [m[0], m[1], ...]), where p[i] is the preparation basis index, and m[i] is the measurement basis index for qubit-i. If not specified full tomography for all indices of the preparation and measurement bases will be performed.

• conditional_circuit_clbits (bool | Sequence[int] | Sequence[Clbit]) – Optional, the clbits in the source circuit to be conditioned on when reconstructing the state. If True all circuit clbits will be conditioned on. Enabling this will return a list of reconstructed state components conditional on the values of these clbit values.

• analysis (BaseAnalysis | None | str) – Optional, a custom tomography analysis instance to use. If "default" ProcessTomographyAnalysis will be used. If None no analysis instance will be set.

Attributes

Methods

circuits()

Return a list of experiment circuits.

Returns:

A list of QuantumCircuit.

Note

These circuits should be on qubits [0, .., N-1] for an N-qubit experiment. The circuits mapped to physical qubits are obtained via the internal _transpiled_circuits() method.

component_experiment(index=None)

Return the component Experiment object.

Parameters:

index (int) – Experiment index, or None if all experiments are to be returned.

Returns:

The component experiment(s).

Return type:

BaseExperiment

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
