public class GateProperty

extends Argument

Class representing properties of a gate object, like repetitions, parameters for error behavior of gates, parameters for decoherence simulation. The idea is to provide optional additional information for the processing of gates. This class is used to encode gate specific information of circuits into files and their reconstruction.

Properties are added with the command 'gateproperty("gatename", a=123)' and the property object can be handled within the MathObject structure (e.g. save like a variable). The gateproperty object will be called "gatename_property".

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

clones the GateProperty object

Overrides:

clone in class MathObject

addProperty

public void addProperty(java.lang.String property,
                        Argument value)

adds a property to the property object. If the property is already assigned, the old value is overwritten.

Parameters:

property - the name of the property

value - the complex value of the property

removeProperty

public Argument removeProperty(java.lang.String property)

removes a property of the property object. If the property is existing, the property is returned otherwise null.

getProperty

public Argument getProperty(java.lang.String property)

returns the complex value of a property specified by the string. If the property is not available, null is returned.

Returns:

value of property or null

equals

public boolean equals(MathObject o)

equality predicate

Overrides:

equals in class Argument

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

returns the contained properties

Overrides:

toString in class MathObject

setGate

public void setGate(java.lang.String gate)

sets the gate to which this property object belongs

getGate

public java.lang.String getGate()

returns the gate to which this property object belongs.

getPropertyKeys

public java.util.Enumeration getPropertyKeys()

returns the name of all properties as an enumeration
