qml.ControlledAddition¶

class ControlledAddition(s, wires)[source]¶

Bases: pennylane.operation.CVOperation

Controlled addition operation.

\[\text{CX}(s) = \int dx \ket{x}\bra{x} \otimes D\left({\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\hbar}}}s x\right) = e^{-i s \: \hat{x} \otimes \hat{p}/\hbar}.\]

Details:

Number of wires: 2
Number of parameters: 1
Gradient recipe: \(\frac{d}{ds}f(\text{CX}(s)) = \frac{1}{2 a} \left[f(\text{CX}(s+a)) - f(\text{CX}(s-a))\right]\), where \(a\) is an arbitrary real number (\(0.1\) by default) and \(f\) is an expectation value depending on \(\text{CX}(s)\).
Heisenberg representation:

\[\begin{split}M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & -s \\ 0 & s & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

a = 1¶

base_name¶: Get base name of the operator.

basis = None¶

The basis of an operation, or for controlled gates, of the target operation. If not None, should take a value of "X", "Y", or "Z".

For example, X and CNOT have basis = "X", whereas ControlledPhaseShift and RZ have basis = "Z".

Type: str or None

control_wires¶

For operations that are controlled, returns the set of control wires.

Returns: The set of control wires of the operation.
Return type: Wires

eigvals¶

generator¶

Generator of the operation.

A length-2 list [generator, scaling_factor], where

generator is an existing PennyLane operation class or \(2\times 2\) Hermitian array that acts as the generator of the current operation
scaling_factor represents a scaling factor applied to the generator operation

For example, if \(U(\theta)=e^{i0.7\theta \sigma_x}\), then \(\sigma_x\), with scaling factor \(s\), is the generator of operator \(U(\theta)\):

generator = [PauliX, 0.7]

Default is [None, 1], indicating the operation has no generator.

grad_method = 'A'¶

grad_recipe = ([[5.0, 1, 0.1], [-5.0, 1, -0.1]],)¶

Gradient recipe for the parameter-shift method.

This is a tuple with one nested list per operation parameter. For parameter \(\phi_k\), the nested list contains elements of the form \([c_i, a_i, s_i]\) where \(i\) is the index of the term, resulting in a gradient recipe of

\[\frac{\partial}{\partial\phi_k}f = \sum_{i} c_i f(a_i \phi_k + s_i).\]

If None, the default gradient recipe containing the two terms \([c_0, a_0, s_0]=[1/2, 1, \pi/2]\) and \([c_1, a_1, s_1]=[-1/2, 1, -\pi/2]\) is assumed for every parameter.

Type: tuple(Union(list[list[float]], None)) or None

hash¶

returns an integer hash uniquely representing the operator

Type: int

id¶: String for the ID of the operator.

inverse¶: Boolean determining if the inverse of the operation was requested.

is_composable_rotation = None¶

True if composing multiple copies of the operation results in an addition (or alternative accumulation) of parameters.

For example, qml.RZ is a composable rotation. Applying qml.RZ(0.1, wires=0) followed by qml.RZ(0.2, wires=0) is equivalent to performing a single rotation qml.RZ(0.3, wires=0).

If set to None, the operation will be ignored during compilation transforms that merge adjacent rotations.

Type: bool or None

is_self_inverse = None¶

True if the operation is its own inverse.

If None, all instances of the given operation will be ignored during compilation transforms involving inverse cancellation.

Type: bool or None

is_symmetric_over_all_wires = None¶

True if the operation is the same if you exchange the order of wires.

For example, qml.CZ(wires=[0, 1]) has the same effect as qml.CZ(wires=[1, 0]) due to symmetry of the operation.

If None, all instances of the operation will be ignored during compilation transforms that check for wire symmetry.

Type: bool or None

is_symmetric_over_control_wires = None¶

True if the operation is the same if you exchange the order of all but the last wire.

For example, qml.Toffoli(wires=[0, 1, 2]) has the same effect as qml.Toffoli(wires=[1, 0, 2]), but neither are the same as qml.Toffoli(wires=[0, 2, 1]).

If None, all instances of the operation will be ignored during compilation transforms that check for control-wire symmetry.

Type: bool or None

matrix¶

multiplier = 5.0¶

name¶: Get and set the name of the operator.

num_params = 1¶

num_wires = 2¶

par_domain = 'R'¶

parameters¶: Current parameter values.

shift = 0.1¶

single_qubit_rot_angles¶

The parameters required to implement a single-qubit gate as an equivalent Rot gate, up to a global phase.

Returns: A list of values \([\phi, \theta, \omega]\) such that \(RZ(\omega) RY(\theta) RZ(\phi)\) is equivalent to the original operation.
Return type: tuple[float, float, float]

string_for_inverse = '.inv'¶

supports_heisenberg = True¶

supports_parameter_shift = True¶

Wires of this operator.

Returns: wires

Methods

`adjoint`([do_queue])	Create an operation that is the adjoint of this one.
`decomposition`(*params, wires)	Returns a template decomposing the operation into other quantum operations.
`expand`()	Returns a tape containing the decomposed operations, rather than a list.
`get_parameter_shift`(idx[, shift])	Multiplier and shift for the given parameter, based on its gradient recipe.

adjoint(do_queue=False)[source]¶

Create an operation that is the adjoint of this one.

Adjointed operations are the conjugated and transposed version of the original operation. Adjointed ops are equivalent to the inverted operation for unitary gates.

Parameters: do_queue – Whether to add the adjointed gate to the context queue.
Returns: The adjointed operation.

static decomposition(*params, wires)¶: Returns a template decomposing the operation into other quantum operations.

expand()¶

Returns a tape containing the decomposed operations, rather than a list.

Returns: Returns a quantum tape that contains the operations decomposition, or if not implemented, simply the operation itself.
Return type: JacobianTape

get_parameter_shift(idx, shift=1.5707963267948966)¶

Multiplier and shift for the given parameter, based on its gradient recipe.

Parameters: idx (int) – parameter index
Returns: list of multiplier, coefficient, shift for each term in the gradient recipe
Return type: list[[float, float, float]]

heisenberg_expand(U, wires)¶

Expand the given local Heisenberg-picture array into a full-system one.

Parameters

U (array[float]) – array to expand (expected to be of the dimension 1+2*self.num_wires)
wires (Wires) – wires on the device the array U should be expanded to apply to

Raises

ValueError – if the size of the input matrix is invalid or num_wires is incorrect

Returns

expanded array, dimension 1+2*num_wires

Return type

array[float]

heisenberg_pd(idx)¶

Partial derivative of the Heisenberg picture transform matrix.

Computed using grad_recipe.

Parameters: idx (int) – index of the parameter with respect to which the partial derivative is computed.
Returns: partial derivative
Return type: array[float]

heisenberg_tr(wires, inverse=False)¶

Heisenberg picture representation of the linear transformation carried out by the gate at current parameter values.

Given a unitary quantum gate \(U\), we may consider its linear transformation in the Heisenberg picture, \(U^\dagger(\cdot) U\).

If the gate is Gaussian, this linear transformation preserves the polynomial order of any observables that are polynomials in \(\mathbf{r} = (\I, \x_0, \p_0, \x_1, \p_1, \ldots)\). This also means it maps \(\text{span}(\mathbf{r})\) into itself:

\[U^\dagger \mathbf{r}_i U = \sum_j \tilde{U}_{ij} \mathbf{r}_j\]

For Gaussian CV gates, this method returns the transformation matrix for the current parameter values of the Operation. The method is not defined for non-Gaussian (and non-CV) gates.

Parameters

wires (Wires) – wires on the device that the observable gets applied to
inverse (bool) – if True, return the inverse transformation instead

Raises

RuntimeError – if the specified operation is not Gaussian or is missing the _heisenberg_rep method

Returns

\(\tilde{U}\), the Heisenberg picture representation of the linear transformation

Return type

array[float]

inv()¶

Inverts the operation, such that the inverse will be used for the computations by the specific device.

This method concatenates a string to the name of the operation, to indicate that the inverse will be used for computations.

Any subsequent call of this method will toggle between the original operation and the inverse of the operation.

Returns: operation to be inverted
Return type: Operator

queue(context=<class 'pennylane.queuing.QueuingContext'>)¶: Append the operator to the Operator queue.
