<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/circuit/library/arithmetic/weighted_adder.py#L23-L337" signature="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder(num_state_qubits=None, weights=None, name='adder')" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: `BlueprintCircuit`
|
||
|
||
A circuit to compute the weighted sum of qubit registers.
|
||
|
||
Given $n$ qubit basis states $q_0, \ldots, q_{n-1} \in \{0, 1\}$ and non-negative integer weights $\lambda_0, \ldots, \lambda_{n-1}$, this circuit performs the operation
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
|q_0 \ldots q_{n-1}\rangle |0\rangle_s
|
||
\mapsto |q_0 \ldots q_{n-1}\rangle |\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} \lambda_j q_j\rangle_s
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
where $s$ is the number of sum qubits required. This can be computed as
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
s = 1 + \left\lfloor \log_2\left( \sum_{j=0}^{n-1} \lambda_j \right) \right\rfloor
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
or $s = 1$ if the sum of the weights is 0 (then the expression in the logarithm is invalid).
|
||
|
||
For qubits in a circuit diagram, the first weight applies to the upper-most qubit. For an example where the state of 4 qubits is added into a sum register, the circuit can be schematically drawn as
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
┌────────┐
|
||
state_0: ┤0 ├ | state_0 * weights[0]
|
||
│ │ |
|
||
state_1: ┤1 ├ | + state_1 * weights[1]
|
||
│ │ |
|
||
state_2: ┤2 ├ | + state_2 * weights[2]
|
||
│ │ |
|
||
state_3: ┤3 ├ | + state_3 * weights[3]
|
||
│ │
|
||
sum_0: ┤4 ├ |
|
||
│ Adder │ |
|
||
sum_1: ┤5 ├ | = sum_0 * 2^0 + sum_1 * 2^1 + sum_2 * 2^2
|
||
│ │ |
|
||
sum_2: ┤6 ├ |

control_0: ┤9 ├
|
||
└────────┘

||
The global phase of the current circuit scope in radians.
|
||
</Attribute>
|
||
|
||
### instances
|
||
|
||
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder.instances" attributeValue="160" />
|
||
|
||
### layout
|
||
|
||
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder.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.

<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder.metadata">
|
||
Arbitrary user-defined metadata for the circuit.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### parameters
|
||
|
||
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.WeightedAdder.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 unintuitive 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
|
||
>>> 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])
|
||
])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
The sorted [`Parameter`](qiskit.circuit.Parameter "qiskit.circuit.Parameter") objects in the circuit.
|
||
