Tsim API
The public API, which follows semantic versioning. Other modules are internal and may change without notice.
Quantum circuit as a thin wrapper around stim.Circuit.
Circuits are constructed like Stim circuits:
>>> circuit = Circuit('''
... H 0
... T 0
... CNOT 0 1
... M 0 1
... ''')
Parameters:

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.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
other | object | The circuit, or other object, to compare to this one. | required |
atol | float | The absolute error tolerance. The maximum amount each probability may have been perturbed by. | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
bool | True if the given object is a circuit approximately equal up to the |
bool | receiving circuit up to the given tolerance, otherwise False. |

compile_detector_sampler
compile_detector_sampler(
*,
strategy: SamplingStrategy = "active_statevector",
seed: int | None = None
) -> CompiledDetectorSampler
Compile circuit into a detector sampler.
Connected components whose single output is deterministically given by one f-variable, or is a constant, 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 | SamplingStrategy | "active_statevector" (the default) to simulate each non-direct component on a dense state vector over its active qubits, or a stabilizer rank decomposition strategy ("cat5", "bss", "cutting"). "active_statevector" samples on the CPU, on | 'active_statevector' |
seed | int | None | Random seed for the sampler. If None, a random seed is drawn. A seed reproduces its samples only with the same versions of Tsim and its dependencies (such as NumPy and JAX) and the same backend (CPU or GPU). With "active_statevector", and under any strategy for a circuit without non-direct components, the samples of a seed depend on neither the batch size nor the thread count. With a stabilizer-rank strategy they also need the same explicit | None |
Returns:

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 | float = 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.
Warning
By default (decompose_errors=False) the model is not decomposed. Matching decoders such as PyMatching build their graph only from error mechanisms that flip at most two detectors, and silently ignore the rest, which can raise the logical error rate substantially. Set decompose_errors=True when the model is meant for a matching decoder.
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 Decomposition keeps the logical observables as observables, as Stim does, so it requires them to be deterministic: Stim raises a ValueError otherwise. | 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 | float | 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['zx', 'zx-dets', 'zx-meas', 'timeline-svg', 'timeslice-svg', 'timeline-text'] | The type of diagram. Available types are: "zx": A zxparam D3 drawing of the circuit's quantum/classical ZX graph. "zx-dets": A zxparam D3 drawing of the reduced ZX graph that is used to compute probabilities of detectors and observables. "zx-meas": A zxparam D3 drawing of the reduced ZX graph 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-text": An ASCII text diagram of the operations applied by the circuit over time, with Tsim's custom gates rendered under their logical names rather than the Clifford placeholders used to store them. | '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. When only one dimension is given, the other is computed from the SVG aspect ratio. | None |
width | float | None | Optional width for the rendered diagram in pixels. Only applied to timeline-svg and timeslice-svg diagram types. | None |
zoomable | bool | If True (default), wraps SVG diagrams in an interactive container with pan and Ctrl/Cmd+wheel zoom. Only applies to timeline-svg and timeslice-svg diagram types. | True |

get_graph
get_graph() -> Graph
Construct the circuit's quantum/classical ZX graph, with qubit ports.
Error parameters have the error index as their ID. Each detector and observable is a classical XOR spider with its own classical output boundary; their ports follow the qubit outputs (detectors, then observables), so the graph's tensor is the circuit's channel together with the detector and observable bits. Circuit.to_tensor returns the channel alone.

get_sampling_graph
get_sampling_graph(sample_detectors: bool = False) -> Graph
Get a ZX graph that can be used to compute probabilities.
The graph is not doubled: qubit wires are quantum and measurement records are classical spiders. It is constructed as follows:
- Wire starts become
|0⟩and wire ends are discarded. - Add outputs, which are classical boundaries: (a) When sampling measurements (i.e.
sample_detectorsis False), add an output for each measurement. Detectors and observables are removed since they are ignored when sampling measurements. (b) When sampling detectors and observables (i.e.sample_detectorsis True), add an output for each detector, then for each observable.
Error parameters have the error index as their ID, so the graph's to_tensor needs a bit for every error index in its bindings (unbound parameters raise); its tensor is then the joint distribution of the outputs.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
sample_detectors | bool | If True, sample detectors and observables instead of measurements. | False |
Returns:
| Type | Description |

to_tensor
to_tensor(
bindings: Mapping[int, int] | None = None,
) -> np.ndarray
Return the circuit's doubled tensor (its channel, U ⊗ Ū for unitaries).
Axes follow zxparam's Graph.to_tensor: outputs then inputs, by qubit, each with a copy and a conjugate axis. Only qubits that some instruction targets get axes, in increasing index order; qubits that no instruction names are left out, so H 1 gives a one-qubit tensor (add I q to keep qubit q). Error bits default to 0 (the noiseless circuit); bindings maps error indices to bits and raises ValueError for any other key. Detector and observable annotations are left out. Needs zxparam[quimb].

Samples measurement outcomes from a quantum circuit.
Follows stim.CompiledMeasurementSampler. Each measurement record of the circuit is one output column.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
circuit | Circuit | The quantum circuit to compile. | required |
strategy | SamplingStrategy | "active_statevector" (the default), or a stabilizer rank decomposition strategy ("cat5", "bss", "cutting"). The stabilizer rank strategies are provisional. | 'active_statevector' |
seed | int | None | Random seed for the sampler. If None, a random seed is drawn. A seed reproduces its samples only with the same versions of Tsim and its dependencies (such as NumPy and JAX) and the same backend (CPU or GPU). With "active_statevector", and under any strategy for a circuit without non-direct components, the samples of a seed depend on neither the batch size nor the thread count. With a stabilizer-rank strategy they also need the same explicit | None |

Return detector samples from the circuit.
The circuit must define the detectors using DETECTOR instructions. Observables defined by OBSERVABLE_INCLUDE instructions can also be included in the results as honorary detectors.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
shots | int | The number of times to sample every detector in the circuit. | required |
batch_size | int | None | The number of samples to process at once. Defaults to None, which chooses it from the available memory. With | None |
separate_observables | bool | Defaults to False. When set to True, the return value is a (detection_events, observable_flips) tuple instead of a flat detection_events array. | False |
prepend_observables | bool | Defaults to false. When set, observables are included with the detectors and are placed at the start of the results. | False |
append_observables | bool | Defaults to false. When set, observables are included with the detectors and are placed at the end of the results. | False |
bit_packed | bool | Defaults to false. When set, results are bit-packed. The packed rows may be a strided view of a wider array. | False |
use_detector_reference_sample | bool | Defaults to False. When True, a noiseless reference sample is computed and XORed with detector outcomes so that results represent deviations from the noiseless baseline. This should only be used when detectors are deterministic. Otherwise, it can unpredictably change the results. | False |
use_observable_reference_sample | bool | Defaults to False. When True, a noiseless reference sample is computed and XORed with observable outcomes so that results represent deviations from the noiseless baseline. This should only be used when observables are deterministic. Otherwise, it can unpredictably change the results. | False |
postselection_mask | ndarray | None | Optional boolean array of length | None |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
ndarray | tuple[ndarray, ndarray] | A boolean array of shape |
ndarray | tuple[ndarray, ndarray] |
|
ndarray | tuple[ndarray, ndarray] | in little-endian bit order. |
ndarray | tuple[ndarray, ndarray] |
