Description

This module implements the approximate single-qubit synthesis algorithm of

The algorithm is near-optimal in the following sense: it produces an operator whose expected T-count exceeds the T-count of the second-to-optimal solution to the approximate synthesis problem by at most O(log(log(1/ε))).

Synopsis

Approximate synthesis

User-friendly functions

gridsynth :: RandomGen g => g -> Double -> SymReal -> Int -> U2 DOmega Source #

Output a unitary operator in the Clifford+T group that approximates Rsub /z/ = eiθZ/2 to within ε in the operator norm. This operator can then be converted to a list of gates with to_gates.

The parameters are:

  • a source of randomness g;
  • the angle θ;
  • the precision b ≥ 0 in bits, such that ε = 2-b;
  • an integer that determines the amount of "effort" to put into factoring. A larger number means more time spent on factoring. A good default for this is 25.

Note: the argument theta is given as a symbolic real number. It will automatically be expanded to as many digits as are necessary for the internal calculation. In this way, the caller can specify, e.g., an angle of pi/128 :: SymReal, without having to worry about how many digits of π to specify.

gridsynth_gates :: RandomGen g => g -> Double -> SymReal -> Int -> [Gate] Source #

A version of gridsynth that returns a list of gates instead of a matrix.

Note: the list of gates will be returned in right-to-left order, i.e., as in the mathematical notation for matrix multiplication. This is the opposite of the quantum circuit notation.

data DStatus Source #

Information about the status of an attempt to solve a Diophantine equation. Success means the Diophantine equation was solved; Fail means that it was proved that there was no solution; Timeout means that the question was not decided within the allotted time.

gridsynth_stats :: RandomGen g => g -> Double -> SymReal -> Int -> (U2 DOmega, Maybe Double, [(DOmega, Integer, DStatus)]) Source #

A version of gridsynth that also returns some statistics: log0.5 of the actual approximation error (or Nothing if the error is 0), and a data structure with information on the candidates tried.

gridsynth_phase_stats :: RandomGen g => g -> Double -> SymReal -> Int -> (U2 DOmega, Maybe Double, [(DOmega, Integer, DStatus)]) Source #

A version of gridsynth_stats that returns the optimal operator up to a global phase. (The default behavior is to return the optimal operator exactly).

Implementation details

The ε-region

epsilon_region :: (Floating r, Ord r, RootHalfRing r, Quadratic QRootTwo r) => r -> r -> ConvexSet r Source #

The ε-region for given ε and θ is a convex subset of the closed unit disk, given by uz ≥ 1 - ε²/2, where z = eiθ/2, and “⋅” denotes the dot product of ℝ² (identified with ℂ).

epsilon_region_scaled :: (Floating r, Ord r, RootHalfRing r, Quadratic QRootTwo r) => DRootTwo -> r -> r -> ConvexSet r Source #

The ε-region, scaled by an additional factor of √s, where s > 0. The center of scaling is the origin.

Main algorithm implementation

gridsynth_internal :: forall r g. (RootHalfRing r, Ord r, Floating r, Adjoint r, Floor r, RealFrac r, Quadratic QRootTwo r, RandomGen g) => g -> r -> r -> Int -> (U2 DOmega, Maybe Double, [(DOmega, Integer, DStatus)]) Source #

The internal implementation of the ellipse-based approximate synthesis algorithm. The parameters are a source of randomness g, the angle θ, the precision b ≥ 0 in bits, and an amount of "effort" to put into factoring.

The outputs are a unitary operator in the Clifford+T group that approximates Rsub /z/ to within ε in the operator norm; log0.5 of the actual error, or Nothing if the error is 0; and the number of candidates tried.

Note: the parameter θ must be of a real number type that has enough precision to perform intermediate calculations; this typically requires precision O(ε2). A more user-friendly function that selects the required precision automatically is gridsynth.

data Phase Source #

Phase0 
Phase1 

gridsynth_phase_internal :: forall r g. (RootHalfRing r, Ord r, Floating r, Adjoint r, Floor r, RealFrac r, Quadratic QRootTwo r, Quadratic r r, RandomGen g) => g -> r -> r -> Int -> (U2 DOmega, Maybe Double, [(DOmega, Integer, DStatus)]) Source #

The internal implementation of the ellipse-based approximate synthesis algorithm, up to a phase. The parameters are the same as for gridsynth_internal.

Auxiliary functions

mergeBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a] Source #

Merge the elements of two lists in increasing order, assuming that each of the lists is already sorted. The first argument is a comparison function for elements.

first :: (a, b, c) -> a Source #

Return the first component of a triple.
