sf.save¶
-
save
(f, prog, ir='blackbird', **kwargs)[source]¶ Saves a quantum program to a Blackbird
.xbb
or an XIR.xir
file.Example:
prog = sf.Program(3) with prog.context as q: ops.Sgate(0.543) | q[1] ops.BSgate(0.6, 0.1) | (q[2], q[0]) ops.MeasureFock() | q sf.save("program1.xbb", prog, ir="blackbird")
This will create the following Blackbird file:
>>> f = open("program1.xbb").read() >>> print(f) name None version 1.0 Sgate(0.543, 0.0) | 1 BSgate(0.6, 0.1) | [2, 0] MeasureFock() | [0, 1, 2]
- Parameters
f (Union[file, str, pathlib.Path]) – File or filename to which the data is saved. If file is a file-object, then the filename is unchanged. If file is a string or Path, a .xbb extension will be appended to the file name if it does not already have one.
prog (Program) – Strawberry Fields program
ir (str) – Intermediate representation language to use. Can be either “blackbird” or “xir”.
- Keyword Arguments
add_decl (bool) – Whether gate and output declarations should be added to the XIR program. Default is
False
.- Return type
None
