What Can I Do With Qiskit Visualization

Introduction to Quantum Computing

Qiskit Visualization

Counts and State Visualizations

The counts and state visualizations include:

• plot_histogram: Plot a histogram of data
• plot_bloch_vector: Plot the Bloch sphere.
• plot_bloch_multivector: Plot the Bloch sphere
• plot_state_city: Plot the cityscape of quantum state
• plot_state_hinton: Plot a hinton diagram for the density matrix of a quantum state
• plot_state_paulivec: Plot the paulivec representation of a quantum state
• plot_state_qsphere: Plot the qsphere representation of a quantum state

Device Visualizations

• plot_gate_map: Plots the gate map of a device
• plot_error_map: Plots the error map of a given backend
• plot_circuit_layout: Plot the layout of a circuit transpiled for a given target backend
• plot_coupling_map: Plots an arbitrary coupling map of qubits (embedded in a plane)

Circuit Visualizations

• circuit_drawer: Draw the quantum circuit

  • circuit_drawer(circuit, scale=None, filename=None, style=None, 
    output=None, interactive=False, plot_barriers=True, 
    reverse_bits=False, justify=None, vertical_compression='medium', 
    idle_wires=True, with_layout=True, fold=None, ax=None, 
    initial_state=False, cregbundle=True)

    

Array/Matrix Visualizations

• array_to_latex: Latex representation of a complex numpy array (with dimension 1 or 2)

Single Qubit State Transition Visualizations

• visualize_transition: creates an animation showing the transitions between states of a single qubit by applying selected quantum gates (operators)

visualize_transition(circuit, trace=False, saveas=None, fpg=100, spg=2)
