cirq_google.engine.SimulatedLocalProcessor

A processor backed by a sampler and device.

Inherits From: AbstractLocalProcessor, AbstractProcessor

Intended for local simulation testing, this processor will create a ValidationSampler that will validate requests based on the provided device and an additional Callable (that can verify serialization constraints, for instance). Jobs will then be executed using the provided sampler.

This class also supports a list of calibration metrics that are stored in-memory to replicate Quantum Engine calibration metrics.

This class can be used as a local emulator for the Quantum Engine API or for testing or mocking.

sampler A cirq.Sampler that can execute the quantum jobs.
device An optional device, for validation of qubit connectivity.
validator A Callable that can validate additional characteristics beyond the device, such as serialization, repetition limits, etc.
gate_set_validator A callable that can validate a circuit and sweeps based on the given serializer.
simulation_type Whether sampler execution should be synchronous or asynchronous.
calibrations A dictionary of calibration metrics keyed by epoch seconds that can be returned by the processor.
processor_id Unique string id of the processor.
engine The parent AbstractEngine object, if available.
expected_down_time Optional datetime of the next expected downtime. For informational purpose only.
expected_recovery_time Optional datetime when the processor is expected to be available again. For informational purpose only.
schedule List of time slots that the scheduling/reservation should use. All time slots must be non-overlapping.
project_name A project_name for resource naming.
device_specification aDeviceSpecification proto that the processor should return if get_device_specification() is queried.
project_id Project name of the processor.
