Quantum operations¶
PennyLane supports a wide variety of quantum operations—such as gates, noisy channels, state preparations and measurements. These operations can be used exclusively in quantum functions, like shown in the following example:
import pennylane as qml
def my_quantum_function(x, y):
qml.RZ(x, wires=0)
qml.CNOT(wires=[0,1])
qml.RY(y, wires=1)
qml.T(wires=0).inv()
qml.AmplitudeDamping(0.1, wires=0)
return qml.expval(qml.PauliZ(1))
This quantum function uses the RZ,
CNOT,
RY gates, the
AmplitudeDamping
noisy channel as well as the
PauliZ observable.
Note that PennyLane supports inverting quantum operations via the
Op(param, wires).inv() method. Additionally, PennyLane
provides a function qml.inv that can be used to invert sequences
of operations and Templates.
Below is a list of all quantum operations supported by PennyLane.

Grouping Pauli words¶
Grouping Pauli words can be used for the optimizing the measurement of qubit
Hamiltonians. Along with groups of observables, post-measurement rotations can
also be obtained using optimize_measurements():
>>> obs = [qml.PauliY(0), qml.PauliX(0) @ qml.PauliX(1), qml.PauliZ(1)]
>>> coeffs = [1.43, 4.21, 0.97]
>>> post_rotations, diagonalized_groupings, grouped_coeffs = optimize_measurements(obs, coeffs)
>>> post_rotations
[[RY(-1.5707963267948966, wires=[0]), RY(-1.5707963267948966, wires=[1])],
[RX(1.5707963267948966, wires=[0])]]
The post-measurement rotations can be used to diagonalize the partitions of observables found.
