[docs] def terminal_sampling(func = None, shots = 0): """ The ``terminal_sampling`` decorator performs a hybrid simulation and afterwards samples from the resulting quantum state. The idea behind this function is that it is very cheap for a classical simulator to sample from a given quantum state without simulating the whole state from scratch. For quantum simulators that simulate pure quantum computations (i.e. no classical steps) this is very established and usually achieved through a "shots" keyword. For hybrid simulators (like Jasp) it is not so straightforward because mid-circuit measurements can alter the classical computation. In general, generating N samples from a hybrid program requires N executions of said programm. If it is however known that the quantum state is the same regardless of mid-circuit measurement outcomes, we can use the terminal sampling function. If this condition is not met, the ``terminal_sampling`` function will not return a valid distribution. A demonstration for this is given in the examples section. To use the terminal sampling decorator, a Jasp-compatible function returning some QuantumVariables has to be given as a parameter. Parameters ---------- func : callable A Jasp compatible function returning QuantumVariables. shots : int, optional An integer specifying the amount of shots. The default is None, which will result in probabilities being returned. Returns ------- callable A function that returns a dictionary of measurement results similar to :meth:`get_measurement <qrisp.QuantumVariable.get_measurement>`. Examples -------- We sample from a :ref:`QuantumFloat` that has been brought in a superposition. :: from qrisp import QuantumFloat, QuantumBool, h from qrisp.jasp import terminal_sampling @terminal_sampling(shots = 1000) def main(i): qf = QuantumFloat(8) qbl = QuantumBool() h(qf[i]) cx(qf[i], qbl[0]) return qf, qbl sampling_function = terminal_sampling(main, shots = 1000) print(main(0)) print(main(1)) print(main(2)) # Yields: {(1.0, True): 526, (0.0, False): 474} {(2.0, True): 503, (0.0, False): 497} {(4.0, True): 502, (0.0, False): 498} **Example of invalid use** In this example we demonstrate a hybrid program that can not be properly sample via ``terminal_sampling``. The key ingredient here is a realtime component. :: from qrisp import QuantumBool, measure, control @terminal_sampling def main(): qbl = QuantumBool() qf = QuantumFloat(4) # Bring qbl into superposition h(qbl) # Perform a measure cl_bl = measure(qbl) # Perform a conditional operation based on the measurement outcome with control(cl_bl): qf[:] = 1 h(qf[2]) return qf print(main()) # Yields either {0.0: 1.0} or {1.0: 0.5, 5.0: 0.5} (with a 50/50 probability) The problem here is the fact that the distribution of the returned QuantumFloat is depending on the measurement outcome of the :ref:`QuantumBool`. The ``terminal_sampling`` function performs this simulation (including the measurement) only once and simply samples from the final distribution.
