Interfaces¶

Interfaces to external packages all operate under the same overall design strategy. They are each subclassed off Interface and are each a singleton class with a standard set of functions to enable conversion to and from True-Q™. Each interface defines a default_config(), which is a Config object defining gates which True-Q™ can convert into.

However, these default config objects typically have multiple GateFactorys that implement the same Gate for different parameters. For example Identity is a special case of both Z(phi) and X(phi) when phi=0. Each interface fixes this degeneracy by preferentially converting using the ordering of the factories present in a set config. What this means is that if the config for a given interface contains both a GateFactory for an X(phi) rotation followed by a factory for an I gate, and a True-Q™ gate representing the identity is converted using that interface, then the interface will preferentially convert the gate into a X(0) gate in the external format.

The currently set config may be accessed on any interface via the get_config() method, which will return a config containing the factories in the preferred order of conversion. This config may be set through the set_config().

When an interface is successfully loaded, Circuit gets additional functionality in the form of a Circuit.to_<interface>(), which will convert the True-Q™ circuit representation into the representation of the external package. By altering the set config for the specified package, the user can select specific gates to build into by default.

class trueq.interface.metadata.Metadata(mapping=None)¶

Stores data not recorded in Circuit objects to enable lossless conversion.

Parameters: mapping (dict) – A dictionary mapping True-Q™ qubit labels to the indexing of the target framework.

Interface¶

class trueq.interface.base.Interface¶

Base class for interfaces to external software libraries or standards.

Each interface maintains a Config containing a collection of GateFactorys that the interface may build into. A complete collection of all gate conversions supported may be found in the default_config() for the respective interface.

In addition to this default config, the interfaces each keep track of a subset of this config which defines the current gates they will preferentially build into. This active subset of the default config may be manipulated via the get_config() and set_config() defined by each interface.

When there is a possible degeneracy in the conversions, such as when converting an identity gate into either an I gate or X(0) in the external standard, the first usable factory listed in the currently set config is used.

The interfaces rely on introspection of the external software to build the possible gate conversions, in many cases when new gates are added to an external package the True-Q™ interface will automatically support the conversion without any required changes.

All software interfaces to True-Q™ are subclassed off of this class.

Returns: A config which contains gates and topology of a given backend.
Return type: Config

class trueq.interface.Executor(circuits, backend, filename=None, n_shots=128, max_submissions=5, overwrite=False)¶

A class to asynchronously submit a CircuitCollection to a qiskit.provider.BaseBackend.

Since current hardware devices have a limit to the number of circuits that can be run at any one time, batching of circuits must be performed. An example of this is the ibmqx2 chip provided by IBM, it has a stated limit of 75 circuits which may be submitted to it at any one time. This means that if a user wishes to submit more than 75 circuits, the total collection of circuits needs to be broken up into groups (or batches) of no more than 75 circuits. True-Q™ circuit collections have native support for batching circuits like this, see batch().

The Executor converts batched circuits into Qiskit formatted objects, and submits them to the provided backend as jobs on the physical devices. The executor then keeps track of the status of each job asynchronously, updating the status periodically as to where the jobs are in the device’s queue.

Since most devices have a limit as to the number of batches that can be submitted by one user at any given time, the executor will only submit up to a max_submissions number of batches at any one time. Once a batch has run on the device, and has been removed from the job queue, the executor will place another batch into the queue until there are a total of max_submissions submitted jobs at any one time.

Here is a worked example, where a simple circuit is submitted to the IBMQ simulator backend:

import trueq as tq
import qiskit as qk
from qiskit.test import ibmq_mock

# loading IBMQ account and selecting a backend
# qk.IBMQ.load_account()
# provider = qk.IBMQ.get_provider()
# backend = provider.get_backend('ibmq_qasm_simulator')
# using a mock device as an example
backend = ibmq_mock.backend_mocks.FakeMelbourne()

# Generating a simple circuit of only the H gate
circs = tq.Circuit([{0: tq.Gate.h}, {0: tq.Meas()}])

# The handling of the submission of the circuits
ex = tq.interface.Executor(circs, backend)

# This is a blocking operation, and will block until all data has been acquired
ex.results()
circs.results.plot()

# A more complicated example using advanced batching options
circs2 = tq.make_srb((0, 1), [4, 64, 128])

# Batch the circuits into groups of 75, including readout calibration circuits
# in each batch
ro_circuits = tq.make_rcal([0, 1])
batches = circs2.batch(75, extra_circuits=ro_circuits)

ex2 = tq.interface.Executor(batches, backend)
ex2.results()
circs2.fit()

Parameters

circuits (CircuitCollection | Circuit | generator) –
The circuits which are to be submitted to the Qiskit backend. Depending on what is submitted here, there are several possible outcomes:
- Circuit
  It will be converted to a CircuitCollection. Results will be placed back inside of the original circuit object itself, and can be viewed as data is retrieved from the backend without having to wait.
- CircuitCollection
  It will be batched using the maximum allowed batch size for the given backend. For very long circuits this may result in errors due to limited memory of the classical hardware which control the backend. If errors occur during the submission of a CircuitCollection, it is recommended to resubmit using the third submission type. Results are placed back inside of the original circuits as data is retrieved from the server.
- batch
  The circuits will be batched exactly as given by the batch generator. This can be used to submit automatic readout correction circuits, see above example or batch() for more details about possible options. Results are placed inside original circuits as data comes in, note that some batching options may result in additional circuits being added to the collection.
backend (qiskit.provider.BaseBackend) – The Qiskit backend to which the circuits will be submitted.
filename (str) – Optional filename where results will be saved. If this is provided the Executor will also be able to partially recover from a crash of the Python session, loss of internet, or other interruption in data acquisition.
n_shots (int) – The number of shots of the circuits to be aquired.
max_submissions (int) – The maximum number of batches allowed in a backend queue at any one time. This number is set by the backend provider and should be set here accordingly.
overwrite (bool) – Whether to overwrite the file on disk if it exists before these circuits are executed. Note that regardless of the value of this flag, after this first check, the file on disk will continually be updated as new results come in.

property n_shots¶

The number of shots to be aquired by the backend.

Type: int

property backend¶

Qiskit backend where the circuits will be submitted.

Type: qiskit.provider.BaseBackend

property filename¶

The filename where circuits with results will be saved.

Type: str

property circuits¶

Batched CircuitCollection, if a single circuit was provided, it will have been converted into a CircuitCollection. See Executor documentation for more details.

Type: list

results()¶

Returns the CircuitCollection complete with results.

Note

This is a blocking operation, and once called you will have to wait until all circuits have completed acquisition on the backend.

This is not required to be called in order to get results, as results are automatically placed into the provided circuits when they are retrieved from the backend. This function is simply a means to force code to wait until the backend returns all of the results.

Return type: CircuitCollection

property status¶

A text representation for the current status of all jobs.

This is a string equivalent of the html output provided in jupyter.

Type: str

save(overwrite=False)¶

Saves the current CircuitCollection regardless of status of acquisition.

This is called automatically whenever a new batch is either submitted or retrieved from the backend.

Parameters: overwrite (bool) – Whether to force an overwrite of the existing file.

cancel()¶

Cancels all currently submitted jobs if possible.

It is recommended that this be run any time a submission mistake is made, as circuits that have been submitted to the backend will stay in queue otherwise.

class trueq.interface.metadata.QiskitMetadata(mapping=None, meas_pairs=None)¶

Stores data not recorded in Circuit objects to enable lossless conversion.

Parameters

mapping (dict) – A dictionary mapping True-Q™ qubit labels to qiskit.Qubits.
meas_pairs (list) – A list of pairs, each with type (qiskit.Qubit, qiskit.Bit), whose order matches that of meas_locs. This stores which classical register each quantum measurement is to be stored into.

QASM¶

class trueq.interface.QASM¶

Interface class to convert Circuits into the QASM 2.0 language.

QASM only defines two possible gate operations natively:

U
This is an arbitrary single qubit unitary with three free parameters.
CX
This is a fixed two qubit gate, more commonly called CNOT.

A config containing these two gates is accessable via default_config(). Any other gates used in a QASM file must be defined as a subroutine using these two fundamental gates.

The QASM interface supports Config objects which contain any one or two qubit fixed gates, as well as any of the following parameterized single qubit operations:

Pauli rotation on a single qubit.
u1_factory.
u2_factory.
u3_factory.

This config the interface uses may be altered via set_config() and get_config(), and gates defined by it will automatically be converted to QASM formatted gate definitions inside of the QASM header.

A commonly available standard library of QASM gates called QELIB1 can be accessed through QELIB1().

classmethod set_config(config=None)¶

Sets the Config which contains any one or two qubit fixed gates, as well as any of the following parameterized single qubit operations:

Pauli rotation on a single qubit.
u1_factory or exact mathematical equivalent.
u2_factory or exact mathematical equivalent.
u3_factory or exact mathematical equivalent.

The provided config will automatically be converted to QASM compatible gate definitions inside of the QASM header and may be used inside of the QASM file itself.

Parameters: config (Config) – The config containing gate definitions that are desired for the QASM representation.

classmethod get_header()¶

Returns the lines of the header currently associated with the currently desired QASM representation as defined by the get_config().

Return type: str

classmethod from_trueq_gate(labels, gate)¶

Converts a Gate into a QASM gate in the currently specified QASM respresentation as defined by get_config().

Parameters

labels (tuple) – A tuple of labels on which the gate operates.
gate (Gate) – The Gate to be converted.

Return type

str

Raises

ValueError – If conversion is not possible.

classmethod from_trueq_circ(circuit, custom_header=None, include_auto_header=True, passes=None)¶

Converts a Circuit into a QASM 2.0 text string.

Circuits converted to QASM will use the gate definitions found in the get_config(). These definitions will by default be included at the top of the output QASM file (this behavior can be disabled by setting include_auto_header=False). Additional lines in the header can be included by providing a list of strings to custom_header, which will be appended as new lines at the top of the file.

Note

Barriers are added between every Cycle.

Parameters

circuit (Circuit) – The circuit to be converted to QASM.
custom_header (list) – A list of strings which will be put at the top of the file, with each string being placed on a seperate line.
include_auto_header (bool) – If the get_config is not the qelib1 config, then QASM requires all gates present to be written as combinations of U3 and CNOT gates (see the docs for QASM, for more details), this flag determines if these definitions should be included in the header of the QASM file.
passes (list) – A list of compiler passes to use during the conversion, this defaults to the HARDWARE_PASSES.

Return type

str

classmethod to_trueq_circ(other_circ)¶

Converts a circuit defined through the external standard into a Circuit.

Parameters: other_circuit – A circuit which is defined in the external standard.
Return type: Circuit

classmethod to_trueq_gate(other_gate)¶

Converts a gate defined through the external standard into a NativeGate.

Parameters: other_gate – A gate which is defined in the external standard.
Return type: NativeGate

classmethod default_config()¶

Returns a Config containing the two possible gate operations defined by QASM natively:

U
This is an arbitrary single qubit unitary with three free parameters.
CX
This is a fixed two qubit gate, more commonly called CNOT.

Return type: Config

classmethod QELIB1()¶

Returns a Config which contains the one and fixed two qubit gates found in the qelib1 library commonly used in QASM representations.

See: https://github.com/Qiskit/openqasm/blob/OpenQASM2.x/examples/qelib1.inc

Return type: Config
