StronglyEntanglingLayers

Module: pennylane.templates.layers

StronglyEntanglingLayers(weights, wires, ranges=None, imprimitive=<class 'pennylane.ops.qubit.CNOT'>)

A sequence of layers of type StronglyEntanglingLayer(), as specified in [schuld2018circuit].

The number of layers \(L\) is determined by the first dimension of weights. The template is applied to the qubits specified by the sequence wires.

Parameters:

• weights (array[float]) – array of weights of shape (L, len(wires), 3)
• wires (Sequence[int]) – sequence of qubit indices that the template acts on

Keyword Arguments:  

• ranges (Sequence[int]) – sequence determining the range hyperparameter for each subsequent layer
• imprimitive (pennylane.ops.Operation) – two-qubit gate to use, defaults to CNOT
