One combination of Ry and Rz is considered as a single layer.

Parameters:

  • num_qubits (int) – Number of qubits of the YZ-CX Encoding Circuit encoding circuit

  • num_features (int) – Dimension of the feature vector

  • num_layers (int) – Number of layers (default: 1)

  • c (float) – Prefactor \(c\) for rescaling the data (default: 1.0)

compose(x, concatenate_features=False, concatenate_parameters=False, num_circuit_features: Tuple[int, int] = (None, None))

Composition of encoding circuits with options for handling features and parameters

Number of qubits and features have to be equal in both encoding circuits! The special function and properties of the both encoding circuits are lost by this composition.

Parameters:

  • self (EncodingCircuitBase) – right / first encoding circuit

  • x (EncodingCircuitBase) – left / second encoding circuit

  • concatenate_features (bool) – If True, the features of both encoding circuits are concatenated (default: False). If False, the features of both encoding circuits are taken

  • concatenate_parameters (bool) – If True, the parameters of both encoding circuits are concatenated (default: False). If False, the parameters of both encoding circuits are taken

  • num_circuit_features (Tuple[int, int]) – Tuple of the number of features for both encoding circuits. This has to be provided if concatenate_features is True otherwise an error is raised.

Returns:

Returns the composed encoding circuit as special class ComposedEncodingCircuit

draw(output: str = None, num_features: int = None, feature_label: str = 'x', parameter_label: str = 'p', decompose: bool = False, **kwargs) → None

Draws the encoding circuit using the QuantumCircuit.draw() function.

Parameters:

  • output (str) – Output format of the drawing (default: None).

  • num_features (int) – Number of features to draw the circuit with (default: None).

  • feature_label (str) – Label for the feature vector (default:”x”).

  • parameter_label (str) – Label for the parameter vector (default:”p”).

  • decompose (bool) – If True, the circuit is decomposed before printing (default: False).

  • kwargs – Additional arguments from Qiskit’s QuantumCircuit.draw() function.

Raises:

ValueError – Raised if the number of features is not provided.

Returns:

Returns the circuit in qiskit QuantumCircuit.draw() format

generate_initial_parameters(num_features: int, seed: int | None = None) → ndarray

Generates random parameters for the encoding circuit

Parameters:

get_circuit(features: ParameterVector | ndarray, parameters: ParameterVector | ndarray) → QuantumCircuit
