Seems like this is confusing because we can still use complex valued amplitude through parameterization (because this bypasses validation in the constructor). We can probably drop validation in the constructor and let user use valid amplitude value on their responsibility. Note that this pulse will fail in execution anyways because QPY doesn't take complex value, right? I think this test doesn't really make sense.

With Qiskit's main branch you can save a ScheduleBlock with complex amp.
In #9897 we added a PendingDeprecationWarning for the assignment of complex values. We can promote to deprecation in 0.46 and remove in 1.0 if you want.

Summary
Support for complex
ampin the instantiation ofScalableSymbolicPulseis removed.Details and comments
Complex
ampsupport was deprecated in #10357 (with some parts awaiting deprecation with #11257 in the 0.46 branch). This PR removes the support.Pulses with complex
amploaded from old QPY files are automatically converted to (amp,angle) representation (with a user warning). Note that there are three eras with regard to this - complex amp (Terra <0.23), amp,angle with complex amp support (Qiskit < 1.0) and now amp,angle with no complex amp support (Qiskit >= 1.0). QPY version was not bumped, so the "complexity" ofampis tested even for QPY files of Qiskit >=1.0. With the next version of QPY,ampcould be assumed to be real.The QPY compatibility test was updated to reflect the difference in the API, but backwards compatibility is maintained.
