Wait for quantum task to reach status

Since R2023a

Syntax

wait(task)
wait(task,status)
tf = wait(task,status,timeout)

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing add-on.

wait(task) waits for the quantum task to reach a "finished" or "failed" status. This function checks the Status property of the quantum task.

example

wait(task,status) waits for the quantum task to reach the specified status. The status input must be "finished" (default) or "running". If the status of the task reaches "failed" while waiting, then wait automatically stops waiting.

tf = wait(task,status,timeout) specifies the timeout period (in seconds) to wait for the quantum task to reach the specified status. If the task does not reach the specified status within the timeout period (it times out), then tf is returned as false. Otherwise, tf is returned as true.

Create a quantum circuit that applies the quantum Fourier transform to five qubits.

gates = qftGate(1:5);
c = quantumCircuit(gates);

Connect to a remote quantum device through AWS. Create a task that runs the circuit on the device with 1000 shots.

dev = quantum.backend.QuantumDeviceAWS("Lucy");
task = run(c,dev,NumShots=1000)
task = 

  QuantumTaskAWS with properties:

    TaskARN: "arn:aws:braket:us-west-1:123456789012:quantum-task/12a34b5c-6a78-9a01-2ab3-4c56def7aa890"
     Status: "queued"

Wait for the task to reach the "running" status within the next 100 seconds. The wait function returns logical 0 (false), which means it times out and the task does not reach the "running" status within the 100-second timeout period.

tf = wait(task,"running",100)
tf =

  logical

   0

Check the current task status.

s = task.Status
s = 

    "queued"

Wait for the task to reach the "running" status within the next 300 seconds. The wait function returns logical 1 (true), which means it does not time out and the task reaches the "running" status before the 300-second timeout period.

tf = wait(task,"running",300)
tf =

  logical

   1

Check the current task status.

s = task.Status
s = 

    "finished"
