qrisp.QuantumVariable.encoder#
- QuantumVariable.encoder(value)[source]#
The encoder reverses the decoder, it turns human-readable values into integers.
If not overloaded, the encoder will perform a linear search on decoder inputs to match the given value.
- Parameters
- label
A human-readable value.
- Returns
- iint
The integer encoding the given value.
- Raises
- Exception
Unknown input value.
Examples
We create a QuantumChar and inspect it’s encoder:
>>> from qrisp import QuantumChar >>> q_ch = QuantumChar() >>> print(q_ch.encoder("f")) 5
This implies that if the 5 qubits of this QuantumChar are measured to
5 = 00101, the out come will be displayed as f.
