synth_cnotdihedral_full(elem)

Decompose a CNOTDihedral element into a QuantumCircuit. For N <= 2 qubits this is based on optimal CX cost decomposition from reference [1]. For N > 2 qubits this is done using the general non-optimal compilation routine from reference [2].

Parameters

elem (CNOTDihedral) – a CNOTDihedral element.

Returns

a circuit implementation of the CNOTDihedral element.

Return type

QuantumCircuit
