<Function id="qiskit.visualization.plot_bloch_vector" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/visualization/state_visualization.py" signature="plot_bloch_vector(bloch, title='', ax=None, figsize=None, coord_type='cartesian')">
|
||
Plot the Bloch sphere.
|
||
|
||
Plot a sphere, axes, the Bloch vector, and its projections onto each axis.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **bloch** (*list\[double]*) – array of three elements where \[\<x>, \<y>, \<z>] (Cartesian) or \[\<r>, \<theta>, \<phi>] (spherical in radians) \<theta> is inclination angle from +z direction \<phi> is azimuth from +x direction
|
||
* **title** (*str*) – a string that represents the plot title
|
||
* **ax** (*matplotlib.axes.Axes*) – An Axes to use for rendering the bloch sphere
|
||
* **figsize** (*tuple*) – Figure size in inches. Has no effect is passing `ax`.
|
||
* **coord\_type** (*str*) – a string that specifies coordinate type for bloch (Cartesian or spherical), default is Cartesian
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
A matplotlib figure instance if `ax = None`.
|
||
|
||
**Return type**
|
||
|
||
Figure
|
||
|

**Raises**
|
||
|
||
[**MissingOptionalLibraryError**](qiskit.aqua.MissingOptionalLibraryError "qiskit.aqua.MissingOptionalLibraryError") – Requires matplotlib.
|
||
|
||
**Example**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from qiskit.visualization import plot_bloch_vector
|
||
%matplotlib inline
|
||
|
||
plot_bloch_vector([0,1,0], title="New Bloch Sphere")
|
||
```
