qiskit.synthesis.synth_clifford_bm

synth_clifford_bm(clifford)

Optimal CX-cost decomposition of a Clifford operator on 2-qubits or 3-qubits into a QuantumCircuit based on Bravyi-Maslov method.

Parameters

clifford (Clifford) – a clifford operator.

Returns

a circuit implementation of the Clifford.

Return type

QuantumCircuit

Raises

QiskitError – if clifford is on more than 3 qubits.
