qat.hardware

This module contains classes to describe a hardware model. A hardware model contains information about the hardware specificities and imperfections, such as the list of available gates, the time they take to be applied, noisy state preparation and readout, as well as noise channels caused by the coupling to the environment.

It is advised to first read the user guide on noise models in Creating noise models.
