iqm.iqm_client.iqm_client.HeraldingMode

class iqm.iqm_client.iqm_client.HeraldingMode(value)

Bases: str, Enum

Heralding mode for circuit execution.

Heralding is the practice of generating data about the state of qubits prior to execution of a circuit. This can be achieved by measuring the qubits immediately before executing each shot for a circuit.

Attributes

NONE	Do not do any heralding.
ZEROS	Perform a heralding measurement, only retain shots with an all-zeros result.

Methods

_generate_next_value_(start, count, last_values)

Generate the next value when not given.

NONE = 'none'

Do not do any heralding.

ZEROS = 'zeros'

Perform a heralding measurement, only retain shots with an all-zeros result.

Note: in this mode, the number of shots returned after execution will be less or equal to the requested amount due to the post-selection based on heralding data.
