cirq_rigetti.aspen_device.OctagonalQubit

A cirq.Qid supporting Octagonal indexing.

cirq_rigetti.aspen_device.OctagonalQubit(
    octagon_position: int
)

octagon_position Position within octagon, indexed as pictured above.

ValueError If the position specified is greater than 7.

dimension Returns the dimension or the number of quantum levels this qid has. E.g. 2 for a qubit, 3 for a qutrit, etc.
octagon_position

x Returns the horizontal position of the qubit, assuming each side of the octagon has length 1.
y Returns the vertical position of the qubit, assuming each side of the octagon has length 1. The y-axis is oriented downwards.
z Because this is a 2-dimensional qubit, this will always be 0.

Methods

distance

View source

distance(
    other: cirq.Qid
) -> float

Returns the distance between two qubits.

Args
other An OctagonalQubit to which we are measuring distance.

Returns
The distance between two qubits.

Raises
TypeError other qubit must be OctagonalQubit.

validate_dimension

@staticmethod
validate_dimension(
    dimension: int
) -> None

Raises an exception if dimension is not positive.

Raises
ValueError dimension is not positive.

with_dimension

with_dimension(
    dimension: int
) -> 'Qid'

Returns a new qid with a different dimension.

Child classes can override. Wraps the qubit object by default.

Args
dimension The new dimension or number of levels.

__eq__

__eq__(
    other
)

Return self==value.

__ge__

__ge__(
    other
)

Return self>=value.

__gt__

__gt__(
    other
)

Return self>value.

__le__

__le__(
    other
)

Return self<=value.

__lt__

__lt__(
    other
)

Return self<value.

__ne__

__ne__(
    other
)

Return self!=value.
