Plot effective \(T_1\) coherence time (rate) as a function of changing parameter.

The effective \(T_1\) is calculated by considering a variety of depolarizing noise channels, according to the formula:

where \(k\) runs over the channels that can contribute to the effective noise. By default all the depolarizing noise channels given by the method effective_noise_channels are included.

For example, assuming qubit is a qubit object with flux being one of its parameters, one can see how the effective \(T_1\) varies as the flux changes:

qubit.plot_t1_effective_vs_paramvals(param_name='flux',
                                     param_vals=np.linspace(-0.5, 0.5, 100),

Parameters:

param_vals (ndarray) – parameter values to be plugged in

The effective \(T_2\) is calculated from both pure dephasing channels, as well as depolarization channels, according to the formula:

where \(k\) (\(j\)) run over the relevant pure dephasing ( depolarization) channels that can contribute to the effective noise. By default all noise channels given by the method effective_noise_channels are included.

For example, assuming qubit is a qubit object with flux being one of its parameters, one can see how the effective \(T_2\) varies as the flux changes:

qubit.plot_t2_effective_vs_paramvals(param_name='flux',
                                     param_vals=np.linspace(-0.5, 0.5, 100),
