Initialize the circuit generation class parse into layers
Parameters
- target_circ (QuantumCircuit) – a qiskit circuit to accredit
- two_qubit_gate (string) – a flag as to which 2 qubit gate to compile with, can be cx or cz
- coupling_map (list) – some particular device topology as list of list (e.g. [[0,1],[1,2],[2,0]])
- seed (int) – seed to the random number generator
Methods
generate_circuits
AccreditationCircuits.generate_circuits(num_trap)
Generate quantum circuits for accreditation
Parameters
num_trap (int) – number of trap circuits
Returns
A tuple of the form
(circuit_list, postp_list`, v_zero) where: circuit_list (list): accreditation circuits postp_list (list): strings used for classical post-processing v_zero (int): position of target circuit
Return type
