count_heavy_hitters_sampled

forest.benchmarking.quantum_volume.count_heavy_hitters_sampled(qc_results: Iterator[numpy.ndarray], heavy_hitters: Iterator[List[int]]) → Iterator[int]

Simple helper to count the number of heavy hitters sampled given the sampled results for a number of circuits along with the the actual heavy hitters for each circuit.

Parameters:
  • qc_results – results from running each circuit on a quantum computer.
  • heavy_hitters – the heavy hitters for each circuit (presumably calculated through simulating the circuit classically)
Returns:

the number of samples which were heavy for each circuit.
