AddPostCircuitBitFlipChecks

class AddPostCircuitBitFlipChecks(*args, **kwargs)

GitHub

Bases: TransformationPass

Add bit-flip checks at the end of the circuit on active qubits terminated by a measurement.

A post-circuit bit-flip check consists of a narrowband X-pulse located after a terminal measurement that flips the state of the qubit from the measured state xx1|x\rangle\mapsto|x\oplus1\rangle. The state is then measured, and if the QPU failed to flip the qubit on a given shot, that sample may be considered unreliable and discarded. Postselecting only samples that pass all checks can improve the fidelity of distributions sampled from the QPU.

The added measurements write to new classical registers that are copies of the DAG’s registers, with modified names (by default, appending "_ps" to the register name).

Note

These passes are only supported on Heron QPUs where fractional gates are supported.

Initialize the pass.

Parameters

  • x_pulse_type – The type of X-pulse to apply for the post-check measurements. Either "xslow" or "rx".
  • post_check_suffix – A fixed suffix to append to the names of the classical registers when copying them.
  • ignore_creg_suffixes – A list of suffixes for classical registers that should be ignored (not copied). By default, registers ending with “_pre” are ignored to avoid adding post-check to pre-check registers.

Attributes

is_analysis_pass

Check if the pass is an analysis pass.

If the pass is an AnalysisPass, that means that the pass can analyze the DAG and write the results of that analysis in the property set. Modifications on the DAG are not allowed by this kind of pass.

is_transformation_pass

Check if the pass is a transformation pass.

If the pass is a TransformationPass, that means that the pass can manipulate the DAG, but cannot modify the property set (but it can be read).


Methods

execute

execute(passmanager_ir, state, callback=None)

Execute optimization task for input Qiskit IR.

Parameters

  • passmanager_ir (DAGCircuit) – Qiskit IR to optimize.
  • state (DAGCircuit) – State associated with workflow execution by the pass manager itself.
  • callback (Callable[[Task, DAGCircuit, PropertySet, float, int], None] | None) – A callback function which is called per execution of optimization task.

Returns

Optimized Qiskit IR and state of the workflow.

Return type

tuple[DAGCircuit, PassManagerState]

name

name()

Name of the pass.

Return type

str

run

run(dag)

GitHub

Run a pass on the DAGCircuit. This is implemented by the pass developer.

Parameters

dag (DAGCircuit) – the dag on which the pass is run.

Raises

NotImplementedError – when this is left unimplemented for a pass.

update_status

update_status(state, run_state)

Update workflow status.

Parameters

  • state (PassManagerState) – Pass manager state to update.
  • run_state (RunState) – Completion status of current task.

Returns

Updated pass manager state.

Return type

PassManagerState
