ContinueLoopOp
class ContinueLoopOp(num_qubits, num_clbits, label=None)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction
A circuit operation which, when encountered, moves to the next iteration of the nearest enclosing loop.
Can be inserted only within the body of a loop op, and must span the full width of that block.
Circuit symbol:
┌─────────────────┐

q_2: ┤2 ├

c_0: ╡0 ╞
└─────────────────┘Create a new instruction.
Parameters
- name (str) – instruction name
- num_qubits (int) – instruction’s qubit width
- num_clbits (int) – instruction’s clbit width
- params (list[int|float|complex|str|ndarray|list|ParameterExpression]) – list of parameters
- duration (int or float) – instruction’s duration. it must be integer if
unitis ‘dt’ - unit (str) – time unit of duration
- label (str or None) – An optional label for identifying the instruction.
Raises
CircuitError – when the register is not in the correct format.
Methods
add_decomposition
ContinueLoopOp.add_decomposition(decomposition)
Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
assemble
ContinueLoopOp.assemble()
Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction
broadcast_arguments
ContinueLoopOp.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)
Validation of the arguments.
Parameters
- qargs (List) – List of quantum bit arguments.
- cargs (List) – List of classical bit arguments.
Yields
Tuple(List, List) – A tuple with single arguments.
Raises
CircuitError – If the input is not valid. For example, the number of arguments does not match the gate expectation.
c_if
ContinueLoopOp.c_if(classical, val)
Set a classical equality condition on this instruction between the register or cbit classical and value val.
This is a setter method, not an additive one. Calling this multiple times will silently override any previously set condition; it does not stack.
copy
ContinueLoopOp.copy(name=None)
Copy of the instruction.
Parameters
name (str) – name to be given to the copied circuit, if None then the name stays the same.
Returns
a copy of the current instruction, with the name
updated if it was provided
Return type
inverse
ContinueLoopOp.inverse()
Invert this instruction.
If the instruction is composite (i.e. has a definition), then its definition will be recursively inverted.
Special instructions inheriting from Instruction can implement their own inverse (e.g. T and Tdg, Barrier, etc.)
Returns
a fresh instruction for the inverse
Return type
Raises
CircuitError – if the instruction is not composite and an inverse has not been implemented for it.
is_parameterized
ContinueLoopOp.is_parameterized()
Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False
qasm
ContinueLoopOp.qasm()
Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction.
Derived instructions may override this to print in a different format (e.g. measure q[0] -> c[0];).
repeat
ContinueLoopOp.repeat(n)
Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times.
Parameters
n (int) – Number of times to repeat the instruction
Returns
Containing the definition.
Return type
Raises
CircuitError – If n < 1.
reverse_ops
ContinueLoopOp.reverse_ops()
For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-instructions.
This is done by recursively reversing all sub-instructions. It does not invert any gate.
Returns
a new instruction with
sub-instructions reversed.
Return type
soft_compare
ContinueLoopOp.soft_compare(other)
Soft comparison between gates. Their names, number of qubits, and classical bit numbers must match. The number of parameters must match. Each parameter is compared. If one is a ParameterExpression then it is not taken into account.
Parameters
other (instruction) – other instruction.
Returns
are self and other equal up to parameter expressions.
Return type
bool
validate_parameter
ContinueLoopOp.validate_parameter(parameter)
Instruction parameters has no validation or normalization.
Attributes
condition_bits
Get Clbits in condition.
Return type
List[Clbit]
decompositions
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
definition
Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
duration
Get the duration.
label
Return instruction label
Return type
str
name
Return the name.
num_clbits
Return the number of clbits.
num_qubits
Return the number of qubits.
params
return instruction params.
unit
Get the time unit of duration.
