Catalog
The concept of the catalog is to provide the user a set of basic of qbit or photonic gate or circuit.
All circuits share the same interface that is describe by the following class CatalogItem:
- class perceval.components.component_catalog.CatalogItem(name)
- abstract build_circuit(**kwargs)
Build the component as circuit
- Return type:
- Returns:
A Perceval circuit
- abstract build_processor(**kwargs)
Build the component as processor
- kwargs:
backend(Union[ABackend, str]): Name or instance of a simulation backend. Default “SLOS”
- Return type:
- Returns:
A Perceval processor
- property name: str
Name of the component
- Returns:
Name of the component
The catalog object work as a dictionary. To select the wanted component you must address it with its catalog key.
For example to get an heralded CZ gate, you must call it as followed:
from perceval import catalog
catalog['heralded cz']
You can after either get it as a circuit or a processor:
from perceval import catalog
processor = catalog['heralded cz'].build_processor() # Will return a processor
circuit = catalog['heralded cz'].build_circuit() # Will return a circuit
If a gate have parameters, like for instance a Mach-Zehnder interferometer phase first you can set those parameters as followed:
import math
from perceval import catalog
circuit = catalog["mzi phase first"].build_circuit(phi_a=math.pi,
phi_b=math.pi))
Klm Cnot
Catalog key: klm cnot
KLM CNOT gate with 4 ancillary modes You probably shouldn’t use the KLM CNOT, except for educational purpose. The Knill CNOT is better in every aspect (see ‘heralded cnot’ in the catalog)
