qrisp.QuantumVariable.duplicate#

QuantumVariable.duplicate(name=None, qs=None, init=False)[source]#

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
