BooleanExpression
class BooleanExpression(expression, name=None)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.classicalfunction.classical_element.ClassicalElement
The Boolean Expression gate.
Parameters
- expression (str) – The logical expression string.
- name (str) – Optional. Instruction gate name. Otherwise part of the expression is going to be used.
Methods
add_decomposition
BooleanExpression.add_decomposition(decomposition)
Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
assemble
BooleanExpression.assemble()
Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction
broadcast_arguments
BooleanExpression.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)
Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.
For example, cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2]) means cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2]). This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:
in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
[q[1], q[2]], []The general broadcasting rules are:
If len(qargs) == 1:
[q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]If len(qargs) == 2:
[[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]] [[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]] [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]If len(qargs) >= 3:
[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]], ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]
Parameters
- qargs (
List) – List of quantum bit arguments. - cargs (
List) – List of classical bit arguments.
Return type
Tuple[List, List]
Returns
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
BooleanExpression.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.
control
BooleanExpression.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Return controlled version of gate. See ControlledGate for usage.
Parameters
- num_ctrl_qubits (
int) – number of controls to add to gate (default=1) - label (
Optional[str]) – optional gate label - ctrl_state (
Union[str,int,None]) – The control state in decimal or as a bitstring (e.g. ‘111’). If None, use 2**num_ctrl_qubits-1.
Returns
Controlled version of gate. This default algorithm uses num_ctrl_qubits-1 ancillae qubits so returns a gate of size num_qubits + 2*num_ctrl_qubits - 1.
Return type
Raises
QiskitError – unrecognized mode or invalid ctrl_state
copy
BooleanExpression.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
from_dimacs_file
classmethod BooleanExpression.from_dimacs_file(filename)
Create a BooleanExpression from the string in the DIMACS format. :type filename: str :param filename: A file in DIMACS format.
Returns
A gate for the input string
Return type
Raises
FileNotFoundError – If filename is not found.
inverse
BooleanExpression.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
BooleanExpression.is_parameterized()
Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False
power
BooleanExpression.power(exponent)
Creates a unitary gate as gate^exponent.
Parameters
exponent (float) – Gate^exponent
Returns
To which to_matrix is self.to_matrix^exponent.
Return type
Raises
CircuitError – If Gate is not unitary
qasm
BooleanExpression.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
BooleanExpression.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
BooleanExpression.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
simulate
BooleanExpression.simulate(bitstring)
Evaluate the expression on a bitstring.
This evaluation is done classically.
Parameters
bitstring (str) – The bitstring for which to evaluate.
Returns
result of the evaluation.
Return type
bool
soft_compare
BooleanExpression.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
synth
BooleanExpression.synth(registerless=True, synthesizer=None)
Synthesis the logic network into a QuantumCircuit.
Parameters
- registerless (
bool) – DefaultTrue. IfFalseuses the parameter names to create registers with those names. Otherwise, creates a circuit with a flat quantum register. - synthesizer (
Optional[Callable[[BooleanExpression],QuantumCircuit]]) – A callable that takes self and returns a Tweedledum circuit.
Returns
A circuit implementing the logic network.
Return type
to_matrix
BooleanExpression.to_matrix()
Return a Numpy.array for the gate unitary matrix.
Returns
if the Gate subclass has a matrix definition.
Return type
np.ndarray
Raises
CircuitError – If a Gate subclass does not implement this method an exception will be raised when this base class method is called.
validate_parameter
BooleanExpression.validate_parameter(parameter)
Gate parameters should be int, float, or ParameterExpression
