<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.VBERippleCarryAdder" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.23/qiskit/circuit/library/arithmetic/adders/vbe_ripple_carry_adder.py" signature="VBERippleCarryAdder(num_state_qubits, kind='full', name='VBERippleCarryAdder')" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: `qiskit.circuit.library.arithmetic.adders.adder.Adder`
|
||
|
||
The VBE ripple carry adder \[1].
|
||
|
||
This circuit performs inplace addition of two equally-sized quantum registers. As an example, a classical adder circuit that performs full addition (i.e. including a carry-in bit) on two 2-qubit sized registers is as follows:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
┌────────┐ ┌───────────┐┌──────┐
|
||
cin_0: ┤0 ├───────────────────────┤0 ├┤0 ├
|
||
│ │ │ ││ │
|
||
a_0: ┤1 ├───────────────────────┤1 ├┤1 ├
|
||
│ │┌────────┐ ┌──────┐│ ││ Sum │
|
||
a_1: ┤ ├┤1 ├──■──┤1 ├┤ ├┤ ├
|
||
│ ││ │ │ │ ││ ││ │
|
||
b_0: ┤2 Carry ├┤ ├──┼──┤ ├┤2 Carry_dg ├┤2 ├
|
||
│ ││ │┌─┴─┐│ ││ │└──────┘
|
||
b_1: ┤ ├┤2 Carry ├┤ X ├┤2 Sum ├┤ ├────────
|
||
│ ││ │└───┘│ ││ │
|
||
cout_0: ┤ ├┤3 ├─────┤ ├┤ ├────────
|
||
│ ││ │ │ ││ │
|
||
helper_0: ┤3 ├┤0 ├─────┤0 ├┤3 ├────────
|
||
└────────┘└────────┘ └──────┘└───────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here *Carry* and *Sum* gates correspond to the gates introduced in \[1]. *Carry\_dg* correspond to the inverse of the *Carry* gate. Note that in this implementation the input register qubits are ordered as all qubits from the first input register, followed by all qubits from the second input register. This is different ordering as compared to Figure 2 in \[1], which leads to a different drawing of the circuit.

|

### parameters
|
||
|
||
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.VBERippleCarryAdder.parameters">
|
||
The parameters defined in the circuit.
|
||
|
||
This attribute returns the [`Parameter`](qiskit.circuit.Parameter "qiskit.circuit.Parameter") objects in the circuit sorted alphabetically. Note that parameters instantiated with a [`ParameterVector`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector "qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector") are still sorted numerically.
|
||
|
||
**Examples**
|
||
|
||
The snippet below shows that insertion order of parameters does not matter.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
|
||
>>> a, b, elephant = Parameter("a"), Parameter("b"), Parameter("elephant")
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> circuit.rx(b, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.rz(elephant, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.ry(a, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters # sorted alphabetically!
|
||
ParameterView([Parameter(a), Parameter(b), Parameter(elephant)])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Bear in mind that alphabetical sorting might be unituitive when it comes to numbers. The literal “10” comes before “2” in strict alphabetical sorting.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
|
||
>>> angles = [Parameter("angle_1"), Parameter("angle_2"), Parameter("angle_10")]
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> circuit.u(*angles, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.draw()
|
||
┌─────────────────────────────┐
|
||
q: ┤ U(angle_1,angle_2,angle_10) ├
|
||
└─────────────────────────────┘
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters
|
||
ParameterView([Parameter(angle_1), Parameter(angle_10), Parameter(angle_2)])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To respect numerical sorting, a [`ParameterVector`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector "qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector") can be used.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter, ParameterVector
|
||
>>> x = ParameterVector("x", 12)
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> for x_i in x:
|
||
... circuit.rx(x_i, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters
|
||
ParameterView([
|
||
ParameterVectorElement(x[0]), ParameterVectorElement(x[1]),
|
||
ParameterVectorElement(x[2]), ParameterVectorElement(x[3]),
|
||
..., ParameterVectorElement(x[11])
|
||
])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Return type**
|
||
|
||
`ParameterView`
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
The sorted [`Parameter`](qiskit.circuit.Parameter "qiskit.circuit.Parameter") objects in the circuit.
|
||
</Attribute>
|
||
|
||

|
