qrisp.QuantumVariable.duplicate

QuantumVariable.duplicate(name=None, qs=None, init=False)

Duplicates the QuantumVariable in the sense that a new QuantumVariable is created with same type and parameters but initialized in the \(\ket{0}\) state.

Parameters

namestring, optional

A unique name to identify that QuantumVariable. If not given, a name will be generated.

qsQuantumSession, optional

A QuantumSession, where the result should be registered. If not given, a new QuantumSession will be generated.

initbool, optional

If set to True, the init_from method of the result will be called on self. The default is False.

Returns

duplicateType of self

The duplicated QuantumVariable.

Examples

We create a QuantumFloat and duplicate:

>>> from qrisp import QuantumFloat
>>> qf_0 = QuantumFloat(4, signed = False)
>>> qf_1 = qf_0.duplicate()
>>> type(qf_1)
qrisp.qtypes.quantum_float.QuantumFloat
>>> qf_1.size
4
