Experiment

The experiment module offers a schema and utilities for succinctly expressing commonly used applications and algorithms in near-term quantum programming. A TomographyExperiment is intended to be consumed by the QuantumComputer.experiment method.

NOTE: When working with the experiment method, the following declared memory labels are reserved:

• "preparation_alpha", "preparation_beta", and "preparation_gamma"
• "measurement_alpha", "measurement_beta", and "measurement_gamma"
• "symmetrization"
• "ro"
