complex_pwc_signal

Graph.complex_pwc_signal(moduli, phases, duration, *, name=None)

Create a complex piecewise-constant signal from moduli and phases.

Use this function to create a complex piecewise-constant signal from moduli and phases defined for each segment, in which the constant segments all have the same duration.

Parameters

• moduli (np.ndarray ( real ) or Tensor ( real )) – The moduli $\{\Omega_n\}$ of the values of $N$ constant segments. These can represent either the moduli of a single sequence of segment values or of a batch of them. To provide a batch of sequences of segment values of shape $B_1 \times \ldots \times B_n$, represent these moduli as a tensor of shape $B_1 \times \ldots \times B_n \times N$
• phases (np.ndarray ( real ) or Tensor ( real )) – The phases $\{\phi_n\}$
• duration (float) – The total duration $\tau$
• name (str or None , optional) – The name of the node.

Returns

The piecewise-constant function of time $v(t)$, satisfying $v(t)=\Omega_n e^{i\phi_n}$ for $t_{n-1}\leq t\leq t_n$, where $t_n=n\tau/N$ (where $N$ is the number of values in $\{\Omega_n\}$ and $\{\phi_n\}$). If you provide a batch of moduli and phases, the returned Pwc represents a corresponding batch of $B_1 \times \ldots \times B_n$ functions $v(t)$

Return type

Pwc

Examples

Create a complex piecewise-constant signal with batched moduli and phases.

>>> moduli = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> phases = np.array([[0.1, 0.2], [0.5, 0.7]])
>>> graph.complex_pwc_signal(moduli=moduli, phases=phases, duration=0.2, name="signal")
<Pwc: name="signal", operation_name="complex_pwc_signal", value_shape=(), batch_shape=(2,)>
>>> result = bo.execute_graph(graph=graph, output_node_names="signal")
>>> result["output"]["signal"]
