unitary_kraus2(kraus: Sequence[Gate], *index: int, prob: Sequence[float] | None = None, status: float | None = None, name: str | None = None) Any[source]

Apply a unitary Kraus channel to the circuit using a Monte Carlo approach. This method is functionally similar to unitary_kraus but uses backend.switch for selecting the Kraus operator, which can have different performance characteristics on some backends.

A random Kraus operator from the provided list is applied to the circuit based on the given probabilities. This method is jittable and suitable for simulating noisy quantum circuits where the noise is represented by unitary Kraus operators.

Warning

This method may have issues with vmap due to potential concurrent access locks, potentially related with backend.switch. unitary_kraus is generally recommended.

Parameters:
  • kraus (Sequence[Gate]) – A sequence of Gate objects representing the unitary Kraus operators.

  • index (int) – The qubit indices on which to apply the Kraus channel.

  • prob (Optional[Sequence[float]], optional) – A sequence of probabilities corresponding to each Kraus operator. If None, probabilities are derived from the operators themselves. Defaults to None.

  • status (Optional[float], optional) – A random number between 0 and 1 to determine which Kraus operator to apply. If None, a random number is generated automatically. Defaults to None.

  • name (Optional[str], optional) – An optional name for the operation. Defaults to None.

Returns:

A tensor indicating which Kraus operator was applied.

Return type:

Tensor
