Distribution Loading

​

Haiqu.distribution_loading(num_qubits, distribution_name, interval_start, interval_end, loc=0, scale=1, num_layers=1, truncation_cutoff=1e-06, name=None, **shape)

• Parameters:
  • num_qubits (int) — The number of qubits in the generated circuit (from 1 to 1000 qubits).
  • distribution_name (str) — The name of the distribution. Can be any of the continuous distributions in scipy.stats.
  • interval_start (Real) — The beginning of the interval.
  • interval_end (Real) — The end of the interval.
  • loc (Real) — The location to which to shift the distribution. Defaults to 0.
  • scale (Real) — The scaling factor by which to stretch the distribution. Defaults to 1.
  • num_layers (int) — The number of layers in the generated circuit (from 1 to 15 layers). More layers can improve the quality of the output distribution at the cost of a deeper circuit. Defaults to 1.
  • truncation_cutoff (Real) — The entanglement cutoff for later layers. Increasing this threshold may result in a smaller (but more approximate) circuit. Defaults to 1e-6.
  • name (str | None) — The name for the job and the produced circuit. If None (default), a name will be automatically generated.
  • **shape — Additional distribution parameters, required by some distributions. Refer to the distribution documentation in scipy.stats for more details.
• Returns: The Data Loading job that will generate the circuit for the probability distribution. : Call job.result() to retrieve a Qiskit-compatible gate (HaiquCircuitGate) that prepares the requested probability distribution on num_qubits qubits. job.quality is the achieved state fidelity vs. the ideal target distribution; job.info exposes loader metadata (fidelity). Run help(job.result) for the full description of result and info contents.
• Return type: DataLoadingJobModel

Examples

>>> num_qubits = 4
>>> job = haiqu.distribution_loading(
...     num_qubits=num_qubits,
...     distribution_name="norm",
...     interval_start=-3,
...     interval_end=3,
...     name=f"Normal distribution ({num_qubits} qubits)",
... )
>>> dl_gate = job.result()  # dl_gate is a Qiskit-compatible gate
>>> fidelity = job.quality
>>> print(f"Normal distribution was loaded with fidelity {fidelity:.6f}")
Normal distribution was loaded with fidelity 0.999484
>>> circuit = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(num_qubits)
>>> circuit.append(dl_gate, range(num_qubits))
>>> circuit.draw()
