cirq.google.XmonSimulator

class cirq.google.XmonSimulator(options: cirq.google.sim.xmon_simulator.XmonOptions = None)

XmonSimulator for Xmon class quantum circuits.

This simulator has different methods for different types of simulations.

For simulations that mimic the quantum hardware, the run methods are

defined in the SimulatesSamples interface:

run

run_sweep

These methods do not return or give access to the full wave function.

To get access to the wave function during a simulation, including being

able to set the wave function, the simulate methods are defined in the

SimulatesFinalWaveFunction interface:

simulate

simulate_sweep

simulate_moment_steps (for stepping through a circuit moment by moment)

__init__(options: cirq.google.sim.xmon_simulator.XmonOptions = None) → None

Construct a XmonSimulator.

Parameters:options – XmonOptions configuring the simulation.

Methods

run(circuit, param_resolver, repetitions)	Runs the entire supplied Circuit, mimicking the quantum hardware.
run_sweep(program, …)	Runs the entire supplied Circuit, mimicking the quantum hardware.
simulate(circuit, param_resolver, …)	Simulates the entire supplied Circuit.
simulate_moment_steps(circuit, …)	Returns an iterator of StepResults for each moment simulated.
simulate_sweep(program, …)	Simulates the entire supplied Circuit.
