merlin.core.photonicbackend module

Experiment configuration for quantum layer setups.

enum merlin.core.photonicbackend.CircuitType(value)

Bases: Enum

Quantum circuit topology types.

Valid values are as follows:

PARALLEL_COLUMNS = <CircuitType.PARALLEL_COLUMNS: 'parallel_columns'>

SERIES = <CircuitType.SERIES: 'series'>

PARALLEL = <CircuitType.PARALLEL: 'parallel'>

class merlin.core.photonicbackend.PhotonicBackend(circuit_type, n_modes, n_photons, state_pattern=StatePattern.PERIODIC, use_bandwidth_tuning=False, reservoir_mode=False)

Bases: object

Configuration container for quantum layer experiments.

enum merlin.core.photonicbackend.StatePattern(value)

Bases: Enum

Input photon state patterns.

Valid values are as follows:

DEFAULT = <StatePattern.DEFAULT: 'default'>

SPACED = <StatePattern.SPACED: 'spaced'>

SEQUENTIAL = <StatePattern.SEQUENTIAL: 'sequential'>

PERIODIC = <StatePattern.PERIODIC: 'periodic'>
