# PiecewiseChebyshev
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.PiecewiseChebyshev" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.1/qiskit/circuit/library/arithmetic/piecewise_chebyshev.py#L27-L353" signature="qiskit.circuit.library.PiecewiseChebyshev(f_x, degree=None, breakpoints=None, num_state_qubits=None, name='pw_cheb')" modifiers="class">
Bases: `BlueprintCircuit`
Piecewise Chebyshev approximation to an input function.
For a given function $f(x)$ and degree $d$, this class implements a piecewise polynomial Chebyshev approximation on $n$ qubits to $f(x)$ on the given intervals. All the polynomials in the approximation are of degree $d$.
The values of the parameters are calculated according to \[1] and see \[2] for a more detailed explanation of the circuit construction and how it acts on the qubits.
**Examples**
```python
import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit.library.arithmetic.piecewise_chebyshev import PiecewiseChebyshev
f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits = lambda x: np.arcsin(1 / x), 2, [2, 4], 2
pw_approximation = PiecewiseChebyshev(f_x, degree, breakpoints, num_state_qubits)
pw_approximation._build()
qc = QuantumCircuit(pw_approximation.num_qubits)
qc.h(list(range(num_state_qubits)))
qc.append(pw_approximation.to_instruction(), qc.qubits)
qc.draw(output='mpl')
```

### layout
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.PiecewiseChebyshev.layout">
Return any associated layout information about the circuit
This attribute contains an optional [`TranspileLayout`](qiskit.transpiler.TranspileLayout "qiskit.transpiler.TranspileLayout") object. This is typically set on the output from [`transpile()`](compiler#qiskit.compiler.transpile "qiskit.compiler.transpile") or [`PassManager.run()`](qiskit.transpiler.PassManager#run "qiskit.transpiler.PassManager.run") to retain information about the permutations caused on the input circuit by transpilation.
There are two types of permutations caused by the [`transpile()`](compiler#qiskit.compiler.transpile "qiskit.compiler.transpile") function, an initial layout which permutes the qubits based on the selected physical qubits on the [`Target`](qiskit.transpiler.Target "qiskit.transpiler.Target"), and a final layout which is an output permutation caused by [`SwapGate`](qiskit.circuit.library.SwapGate "qiskit.circuit.library.SwapGate")s inserted during routing.

### metadata

Arbitrary user-defined metadata for the circuit.
Qiskit will not examine the content of this mapping, but it will pass it through the transpiler and reattach it to the output, so you can track your own metadata.
