pygsti.construction.make_rpe_theta_str_lists_gx_gz(kList)

Make theta cosine and sine gatestring lists for (approx) X pi/4 and Z pi/2 gates. These gate strings are used to estimate theta (X-Z axes angle).

Parameters:kList (list of ints) – The list of “germ powers” to be used. Typically successive powers of two; e.g. [1,2,4,8,16].
Returns:
  • thetaCosStrList (list of GateStrings) – The list of “cosine strings” to be used for theta estimation.
  • thetaSinStrList (list of GateStrings) – The list of “sine strings” to be used for theta estimation.
