Using Qoala Random

randint(start, stop, distribution=1)

Parameters:

• start (int)

• stop (int)

• distribution (int, default=1 (uniform distribution))

  distribution is the index of the distribution type desired. See more in distribution options.

Returns: A random integer between start and stop

randrange(start, stop, step=1, distribution=1)

Parameters:

• start (int)

• stop (int)

• step (int, default=1)

• distribution (int, default=1 (uniform distribution))

  distribution is the index of the distribution type desired. See more in distribution options.

Returns: A random integer between start and stop incrementing by step

randfloat(start, stop, distribution=1)

Parameters:

• start (int)

• stop (int)

• distribution (int, default=1 (uniform distribution))

  distribution is the index of the distribution type desired. See more in distribution options.

Returns: A random float between start and stop

randchoice(user_list, distribution=1)

Parameters:

• user_list (list)

• distribution (int, default=1 (uniform distribution))

  distribution is the index of the distribution type desired. See more in distribution options.

Returns: A random element of user_list

Distribution Options

0 = normal

To extract the random numbers from a normal distribution (centred at 0, variance = 1)

1 = uniform

To extract the random numbers from a uniform distribution

2 = porterthomas

To extract the random numbers from a Porter-Thomas distribution

3 = deeprandom

To fully take advantage of the quantum circuit, creating a circuit that exploit statistical propertier of dual-unitary circuits to generate a number extracted uniformly from the Haar distribution (approximated according to the amount of resources requested to the QPU)
