qiskit.synthesis.synth_cnotdihedral_general

synth_cnotdihedral_general(elem)

Decompose a CNOTDihedral element into a QuantumCircuit.

Decompose a general CNOTDihedral elements. The number of CNOT gates is not necessarily optimal. For a decomposition of a 1-qubit or 2-qubit element, call synth_cnotdihedral_two_qubits.

Parameters

elem (CNOTDihedral) – a CNOTDihedral element.

Returns

a circuit implementation of the CNOTDihedral element.

Return type

QuantumCircuit

Raises

QiskitError – if the element could not be decomposed into a circuit.
