Mirror
- class sequence.components.mirror.Mirror(name: str, timeline: Timeline, fidelity=0.98, destination='', encoding_type={'bases': [((1 + 0j, 0j), (0j, 1 + 0j)), ((0.7071067811865476 + 0j, 0.7071067811865476 + 0j), (-0.7071067811865476 + 0j, 0.7071067811865476 + 0j))], 'name': 'polarization'}, phase_error=0)
Single photon reflecting device. This class models the reflection of a single photon, in the fashion of an experimental mirror. Can be attached to many devices to enable different measurement options.
- name
label for mirror instance.
- Type:
str
- fidelity
fraction of qubits not lost on the reflective surface
- Type:
float
- destination
destination node for reflected photons
- Type:
str
- encoding_type
encoding scheme of emitted photons (as defined in the encoding module).
- Type:
dict[str, Any]
- phase_error
phase error applied to qubits.
- Type:
float
- get(photon, **kwargs) None
Method to get a photon to reflect.
Will send to destination node specified by destination attribute through owner node.
- Parameters:
photon (Photon) – photon to reflect
- init()
Method to initialize entity (abstract).
Entity init methods are invoked for all timeline entities when the timeline is initialized. This method can be used to perform any necessary functions before simulation.
