approx_equals
approx_equals(other: object, *, atol: float) -> bool
Check if a circuit is approximately equal to another circuit.
Two circuits are approximately equal if they are equal up to slight perturbations of instruction arguments such as probabilities. For example, X_ERROR(0.100) 0 is approximately equal to X_ERROR(0.099) within an absolute tolerance of 0.002. All other details of the circuits (such as the ordering of instructions and targets) must be exactly the same.

compile_detector_sampler
compile_detector_sampler(
*,
strategy: DecompositionStrategy = "cat5",
seed: int | None = None
) -> CompiledDetectorSampler
Compile circuit into a detector sampler.
Connected components whose single output is deterministically given by one f-variable are handled via a fast direct path (no compilation or autoregressive sampling). Remaining components go through the full compilation pipeline.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
strategy | DecompositionStrategy | Stabilizer rank decomposition strategy. Must be one of "cat5", "bss", "cutting". | 'cat5' |
seed | int | None | Random seed for the sampler. IMPORTANT: Currently, the sampler will only produce deterministic samples for fixed batch size. If deterministic samples are needed, the batch size should be set manually. | None |

compile_m2d_converter
compile_m2d_converter(
*, skip_reference_sample: bool = False
) -> stim.CompiledMeasurementsToDetectionEventsConverter
Create a measurement-to-detection-event converter for the given circuit.
The converter can efficiently compute detection events and observable flips from raw measurement data.
The converter uses a noiseless reference sample, collected from the circuit using stim's Tableau simulator during initialization of the converter, as a baseline for determining what the expected value of a detector is.
Note that the expected behavior of gauge detectors (detectors that are not actually deterministic under noiseless execution) can vary depending on the reference sample. Stim mitigates this by always generating the same reference sample for a given circuit.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
skip_reference_sample | bool | Defaults to False. When set to True, the reference sample used by the converter is initialized to all-zeroes instead of being collected from the circuit. This should only be used if it's known that the all-zeroes sample is actually a possible result from the circuit (under noiseless execution). | False |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
CompiledMeasurementsToDetectionEventsConverter | An initialized stim.CompiledMeasurementsToDetectionEventsConverter. |

detector_error_model
detector_error_model(
*,
decompose_errors: bool = False,
flatten_loops: bool = False,
allow_gauge_detectors: bool = False,
approximate_disjoint_errors: bool = False,
ignore_decomposition_failures: bool = False,
block_decomposition_from_introducing_remnant_edges: bool = False
) -> stim.DetectorErrorModel
Return a stim.DetectorErrorModel describing the error processes in the circuit.
Unlike the stim.Circuit.detector_error_model() method, this method allows for non-deterministic observables when allow_gauge_detectors is set to true.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
decompose_errors | bool | Defaults to false. When set to true, the error analysis attempts to decompose the components of composite error mechanisms (such as depolarization errors) into simpler errors, and suggest this decomposition via This is not supported by tsim and setting it to true will raise an error. The argument is present for compatibility with stim. | False |
flatten_loops | bool | Defaults to false. When set to true, the output will not contain any Irrelevant unless allow_gauge_detectors=False. | False |
allow_gauge_detectors | bool | Defaults to false. When set to false, the error analysis verifies that detectors in the circuit are actually deterministic under noiseless execution of the circuit. Note that, unlike in stim, logical observables are also allowed to be non-deterministic. | False |
approximate_disjoint_errors | bool | Defaults to false. When set to false, composite error mechanisms with disjoint components (such as This argument can also be set to a probability between 0 and 1, setting a threshold below which the approximation is acceptable. Any error mechanisms that have a component probability above the threshold will cause an exception to be thrown. | False |
ignore_decomposition_failures | bool | Defaults to False. When this is set to True, circuit errors that fail to decompose into graphlike detector error model errors no longer cause the conversion process to abort. Instead, the undecomposed error is inserted into the output. Whatever tool the detector error model is then given to is responsible for dealing with the undecomposed errors (e.g. a tool may choose to simply ignore them). Irrelevant unless decompose_errors=True. | False |
block_decomposition_from_introducing_remnant_edges | bool | Defaults to False. Requires that both A B and C D be present elsewhere in the detector error model in order to decompose A B C D into A B ^ C D. Normally, only one of A B or C D needs to appear to allow this decomposition. Remnant edges can be a useful feature for ensuring decomposition succeeds, but they can also reduce the effective code distance by giving the decoder single edges that actually represent multiple errors in the circuit (resulting in the decoder making misinformed choices when decoding). Irrelevant unless decompose_errors=True. | False |

Return a diagram of the circuit, from a variety of options.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
type | Literal['pyzx', 'pyzx-dets', 'pyzx-meas', 'timeline-svg', 'timeslice-svg'] | The type of diagram. Available types are: "pyzx": A pyzx SVG of the ZX diagram of the circuit. "pyzx-dets": A pyzx SVG of the ZX diagram that is used to compute probabilities of detectors and observables. "pyzx-meas": A pyzx SVG of the ZX diagram that is used to compute probabilities of measurements. "timeline-svg": An SVG image of the operations applied by the circuit over time. Includes annotations showing the measurement record index that each measurement writes to, and the measurements used by detectors. "timeslice-svg": An SVG image of the operations applied between two TICK instructions in the circuit, with the operations laid out in 2d. | 'timeline-svg' |
tick | int | range | None | Required for time slice diagrams. Specifies which TICK instruction, or range of TICK instructions, to slice at. Note that the first TICK instruction in the circuit corresponds tick=1. The value tick=0 refers to the very start of the circuit. Passing Passing | None |
rows | int | None | In diagrams that have multiple separate pieces, such as timeslice diagrams and detslice diagrams, this controls how many rows of pieces there will be. If not specified, a number of rows that creates a roughly square layout will be chosen. | None |
filter_coords | Iterable[Iterable[float] | DemTarget] | A list of things to include in the diagram. Different effects depending on the diagram. For detslice diagrams, the filter defaults to showing all detectors and no observables. When specified, each list entry can be a collection of floats (detectors whose coordinates start with the same numbers will be included), a stim.DemTarget (specifying a detector or observable to include), a string like "D5" or "L0" specifying a detector or observable to include. | ((),) |
height | float | None | Optional height for the rendered diagram in pixels. Only applied to timeline-svg and timeslice-svg diagram types. For timeline-svg, when both height and width are None, the height is automatically determined based on the number of qubits.

Any | writing the diagram to a file works correctly. The returned |
Any | object may also define methods such as |
Any | ipython notebooks recognize it can be shown using a specialized |
