# PauliLindbladMapModel

*pydantic model* `PauliLindbladMapModel`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/ibm-quantum-schemas/tree/0.10.20260723/ibm_quantum_schemas/common/pauli_lindblad_map.py#L19-L40)

Bases: `BaseModel`

Encoding of a sparse Pauli Lindblad map.

### num\_qubits

*field*

Type: `int`

The total number of qubits the map applies to.

**Constraints**

- **ge** = 0

### sparse\_terms

*field*

Type: `list`\[`tuple`\[`str`, `list`\[`int`], `float`]]

The Pauli Lindblad terms in the sparse form `(pauli_string, qubit_idxs, rate)`.

### from\_pauli\_lindblad\_map

*classmethod* `from_pauli_lindblad_map(pauli_lindblad_map)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/ibm-quantum-schemas/tree/0.10.20260723/ibm_quantum_schemas/common/pauli_lindblad_map.py#L28-L36)

Encode a [`qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap`](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap) into this model.

**Parameters**

**pauli\_lindblad\_map** ([*PauliLindbladMap*](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap))

**Return type**

[*PauliLindbladMapModel*](#ibm_quantum_schemas.common.PauliLindbladMapModel "ibm_quantum_schemas.common.pauli_lindblad_map.PauliLindbladMapModel")

### to\_pauli\_lindblad\_map

`to_pauli_lindblad_map()`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/ibm-quantum-schemas/tree/0.10.20260723/ibm_quantum_schemas/common/pauli_lindblad_map.py#L38-L40)

Decode this model into a [`qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap`](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap).

**Return type**

[*PauliLindbladMap*](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.quantum_info.PauliLindbladMap)
