Application Class

An application defines a class of quantum computation problems along with a method to generate traces for specific problem instances.

We distinguish between application and trace parameters. The application parameters define which particular instance of the application we want to consider. The trace parameters define how to generate a trace. They change the specific way in which we solve the problem, but not the problem itself.

For example, in quantum cryptanalysis, the application parameters could define the key size for an RSA prime product, while the trace parameters define which algorithm to use to break the cryptography, as well as parameters therein.

Constructor

Application()

Methods

context	Create a new enumeration context for this application.
disable_parallel_traces	Disable parallel trace generation for this application.
enumerate_traces	Yield all traces of an application given its dataclass parameters.
enumerate_traces_with_parameters	Yield (parameters, trace) pairs for an application. Like enumerate_traces, but each yielded trace is accompanied by the trace parameters that were used to generate it.
get_trace	Return the trace corresponding to this application and parameters.
post_process	Post-process an estimation result for a given set of trace parameters.
q	Create a trace query for this application.
