sf.lab.Heterodyne¶

class mrmustard.lab.Heterodyne(x=0.0, y=0.0, modes=None)[source]¶

Heterodyne measurement on given modes.

This class is just a thin wrapper around the Coherent. If neither x or y is provided then values will be sampled.

Parameters:

x (optional float or List[float]) – the x-displacement of the coherent state, defaults to None
y (optional or List[float]) – the y-displacement of the coherent state, defaults to None
modes (List[int]) – the modes of the coherent state

Attributes

`modes`	returns the modes being measured
`num_modes`	returns the number of modes being measured
`outcome`	Returns outcome of the measurement.
`parameter_set`	The set of parameters for this transformation.
`postselected`	returns whether the measurement is postselected, i.e, a outcome has been provided

postselected¶: returns whether the measurement is postselected, i.e, a outcome has been provided

performs the measurement procedure according to the representation of the incoming state
