.. currentmodule:: qiskit.pulse

Schedules are Pulse programs. They describe instruction sequences for the control hardware.
The Schedule is one of the most fundamental objects to this pulse-level programming module.
A ``Schedule`` is a representation of a *program* in Pulse. Each schedule tracks the time of each
instruction occuring in parallel over multiple signal *channels*.

class Schedule:
    """A quantum program *schedule* with exact time constraints for its instructions, operating
    over all input signal *channels* and supporting special syntaxes for building.

    Pulse program representation for the original Qiskit Pulse model [1].
    Instructions are not allowed to overlap in time
    on the same channel. This overlap constraint is immediately
    evaluated when a new instruction is added to the ``Schedule`` object.

    It is necessary to specify the absolute start time and duration
    for each instruction so as to deterministically fix its execution time.

    The ``Schedule`` program supports some syntax sugar for easier programming.

    - Appending an instruction to the end of a channel

      .. code-block:: python

          from qiskit.pulse import Schedule, Gaussian, DriveChannel, Play
          sched = Schedule()
          sched += Play(Gaussian(160, 0.1, 40), DriveChannel(0))

    - Appending an instruction shifted in time by a given amount

      .. code-block:: python

          sched = Schedule()
          sched += Play(Gaussian(160, 0.1, 40), DriveChannel(0)) << 30

    - Merge two schedules

      .. code-block:: python

          sched1 = Schedule()
          sched1 += Play(Gaussian(160, 0.1, 40), DriveChannel(0))

          sched2 = Schedule()
          sched2 += Play(Gaussian(160, 0.1, 40), DriveChannel(1))
          sched2 = sched1 | sched2

    A :obj:`.PulseError` is immediately raised when the overlap constraint is violated.

    In the schedule representation, we cannot parametrize the duration of instructions.
    Thus, we need to create a new schedule object for each duration.
    To parametrize an instruction's duration, the :class:`~qiskit.pulse.ScheduleBlock`
    representation may be used instead.

class ScheduleBlock:
    """Time-ordered sequence of instructions with alignment context.

    :class:`.ScheduleBlock` supports lazy scheduling of context instructions,
    i.e. their timeslots is always generated at runtime.
    This indicates we can parametrize instruction durations as well as
    other parameters. In contrast to :class:`.Schedule` being somewhat static,
    :class:`.ScheduleBlock` is a dynamic representation of a pulse program.

    .. rubric:: Pulse Builder

    The Qiskit pulse builder is a domain specific language that is developed on top of
    the schedule block. Use of the builder syntax will improve the workflow of
    pulse programming. See :ref:`pulse_builder` for a user guide.

    .. rubric:: Alignment contexts

    A schedule block is always relatively scheduled.
    Instead of taking individual instructions with absolute execution time ``t0``,
    the schedule block defines a context of scheduling and instructions
    under the same context are scheduled in the same manner (alignment).
    Several contexts are available in :ref:`pulse_alignments`.
    A schedule block is instantiated with one of these alignment contexts.
    The default context is :class:`AlignLeft`, for which all instructions are left-justified,
    in other words, meaning they use as-soon-as-possible scheduling.

    If you need an absolute-time interval in between instructions, you can explicitly
    insert :class:`~qiskit.pulse.instructions.Delay` instructions.

    .. rubric:: Nested blocks

    A schedule block can contain other nested blocks with different alignment contexts.
    This enables advanced scheduling, where a subset of instructions is
    locally scheduled in a different manner.
    Note that a :class:`.Schedule` instance cannot be directly added to a schedule block.
    To add a :class:`.Schedule` instance, wrap it in a :class:`.Call` instruction.
    This is implicitly performed when a schedule is added through the :ref:`pulse_builder`.

    .. rubric:: Unsupported operations

    Because the schedule block representation lacks timeslots, it cannot
    perform particular :class:`.Schedule` operations such as :meth:`insert` or :meth:`shift` that
    require instruction start time ``t0``.
    In addition, :meth:`exclude` and :meth:`filter` methods are not supported
    because these operations may identify the target instruction with ``t0``.
    Except for these operations, :class:`.ScheduleBlock` provides full compatibility
    with :class:`.Schedule`.

    .. rubric:: Subroutine

    The timeslots-free representation offers much greater flexibility for writing pulse programs.
    Because :class:`.ScheduleBlock` only cares about the ordering of the child blocks
    we can add an undefined pulse sequence as a subroutine of the main program.
    If your program contains the same sequence multiple times, this representation may
    reduce the memory footprint required by the program construction.
    Such a subroutine is realized by the special compiler directive
    :class:`~qiskit.pulse.instructions.Reference` that is defined by
    a unique set of reference key strings to the subroutine.
    The (executable) subroutine is separately stored in the main program.
    Appended reference directives are resolved when the main program is executed.
    Subroutines must be assigned through :meth:`assign_references` before execution.

    One way to reference a subroutine in a schedule is to use the pulse
    builder's :func:`~qiskit.pulse.builder.reference`  function to declare an
    unassigned reference.  In this example, the program is called with the
    reference key "grand_child".  You can call a subroutine without specifying
    a substantial program.

    .. code-block::

        from qiskit import pulse
        from qiskit.circuit.parameter import Parameter

        amp1 = Parameter("amp1")
        amp2 = Parameter("amp2")

        with pulse.build() as sched_inner:
            pulse.play(pulse.Constant(100, amp1), pulse.DriveChannel(0))

        with pulse.build() as sched_outer:
            with pulse.align_right():
                pulse.reference("grand_child")
                pulse.play(pulse.Constant(200, amp2), pulse.DriveChannel(0))

        # Now assign the inner pulse program to this reference
        sched_outer.assign_references({("grand_child",): sched_inner})
        print(sched_outer.parameters)

    .. code-block:: text

       {Parameter(amp1), Parameter(amp2)}

    The outer program now has the parameter ``amp2`` from the inner program,
    indicating that the inner program's data has been made available to the
    outer program.
    The program calling the "grand_child" has a reference program description
    which is accessed through :attr:`ScheduleBlock.references`.

    .. code-block::

        print(sched_outer.references)

    .. code-block:: text

       ReferenceManager:
         - ('grand_child',): ScheduleBlock(Play(Constant(duration=100, amp=amp1,...

    Finally, you may want to call this program from another program.
    Here we try a different approach to define subroutine. Namely, we call
    a subroutine from the root program with the actual program ``sched2``.

    .. code-block::

        amp3 = Parameter("amp3")

        with pulse.build() as main:
            pulse.play(pulse.Constant(300, amp3), pulse.DriveChannel(0))
            pulse.call(sched_outer, name="child")

        print(main.parameters)

    .. code-block:: text

       {Parameter(amp1), Parameter(amp2), Parameter(amp3}

    This implicitly creates a reference named "child" within
    the root program and assigns ``sched_outer`` to it.

    Note that the root program is only aware of its direct references.

    .. code-block::

        print(main.references)

    .. code-block:: text

       ReferenceManager:
         - ('child',): ScheduleBlock(ScheduleBlock(ScheduleBlock(Play(Con...

    As you can see the main program cannot directly assign a subroutine to the "grand_child" because
    this subroutine is not called within the root program, i.e. it is indirectly called by "child".
    However, the returned :class:`.ReferenceManager` is a dict-like object, and you can still
    reach to "grand_child" via the "child" program with the following chained dict access.

    .. code-block::

        main.references[("child", )].references[("grand_child", )]

    Note that :attr:`ScheduleBlock.parameters` still collects all parameters
    also from the subroutine once it's assigned.

        It is only capable of assigning a schedule block to immediate references
        which are directly referred within the current scope.
        Let's see following example:

        .. code-block:: python

            from qiskit import pulse

            with pulse.build() as nested_prog:
                pulse.delay(10, pulse.DriveChannel(0))

            with pulse.build() as main_prog:
                pulse.reference("B")

        In above example, the ``main_prog`` can refer to the subroutine "root::B" and the
        reference of "B" to program "A", i.e., "B::A", is not defined in the root namespace.
        This prevents breaking the reference "root::B::A" by the assignment of "root::B".
        For example, if a user could indirectly assign "root::B::A" from the root program,
        one can later assign another program to "root::B" that doesn't contain "A" within it.
        In this situation, a reference "root::B::A" would still live in
        the reference manager of the root.
        However, the subroutine "root::B::A" would no longer be used in the actual pulse program.
        To assign subroutine "A" to ``nested_prog`` as a nested subprogram of ``main_prog``,
        you must first assign "A" of the ``sub_prog``,
        and then assign the ``sub_prog`` to the ``main_prog``.

        .. code-block:: python

            sub_prog.assign_references({("A", ): nested_prog}, inplace=True)
            main_prog.assign_references({("B", ): sub_prog}, inplace=True)

        Alternatively, you can also write

        .. code-block:: python

            main_prog.assign_references({("B", ): sub_prog}, inplace=True)
            main_prog.references[("B", )].assign_references({("A", ): nested_prog}, inplace=True)

        Here :attr:`.references` returns a dict-like object, and you can
        mutably update the nested reference of the particular subroutine.

                mpl2d: Matplotlib API for 2D image generation.
                    Matplotlib API to generate 2D image. Charts are placed along y axis with
                    vertical offset. This API takes matplotlib.axes.Axes as ``axis`` input.

            ``axis`` and ``style`` kwargs may depend on the plotter.
        axis: Arbitrary object passed to the plotter. If this object is provided,
            the plotters use a given ``axis`` instead of internally initializing
            a figure object. This object format depends on the plotter.
            See plotter argument for details.
        show_barrier: DEPRECATED. Show barrier lines.

        Visualization output data.
        The returned data type depends on the ``plotter``.
