Utilities mainly useful for analysing results and experiments.

calculate_integration_kernels(state_traces)

Calculates the optimal kernel arrays for state discrimination given a set of reference traces corresponding to measurement of each qubit state. The calculated kernels can directly be used as kernels in acquire statements.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
state_traces list[NDArray]

List of complex-valued reference traces, one array per state. The reference traces are typically obtained by an averaged scope measurement of the readout resonator response when the qudit is prepared in a certain state.

required

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If any element of state_traces contains NaN values.

Deprecated in version 2.26.0

Deprecated in favor of calculate_integration_kernels_thresholds which additionally supplies the threshold information.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
