interferometer_uniform
(n_wires, low=0, high=6.283185307179586, seed=None)[source]¶ Creates a list of three parameter arrays for an
Interferometer()
, drawn from a uniform distribution.The arrays are of the form
[theta, phi, varphi]
, where:theta
is the array of beamsplitter transmittivity angles, of size(n_wires*(n_wires-1)/2, )
phi
is the array of beamsplitter phases, of size(n_wires*(n_wires-1)/2, )
varphi
is the array of local angles for the final rotation gates, of size(n_wires, )
All parameters are initialized uniformly from the interval
[low, high]
.Parameters: n_wires (int) – number of modes that the interferometer acts on
Keyword Arguments: - low (float) – minimum value of uniformly drawn rotation angles
- high (float) – maximum value of uniformly drawn rotation angles
- seed (int) – seed used in sampling the parameters, makes function call deterministic
Returns: list of parameter arrays
