SolovayKitaevSynthesis
class SolovayKitaevSynthesis
Bases: qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.plugin.UnitarySynthesisPlugin
A Solovay-Kitaev Qiskit unitary synthesis plugin.
This plugin is invoked by transpile() when the unitary_synthesis_method parameter is set to "sk".
This plugin supports customization and additional parameters can be passed to the plugin by passing a dictionary as the unitary_synthesis_plugin_config parameter of the transpile() function.
Supported parameters in the dictionary:
basis_approximations (str | dict):
The basic approximations for the finding the best discrete decomposition at the root of the recursion. If a string, it specifies the .npy file to load the approximations from. If a dictionary, it contains {label: SO(3)-matrix} pairs. If None, a default based on the specified basis_gates and depth is generated.
basis_gates (list):
A list of strings specifying the discrete basis gates to decompose to. If None, defaults to ["h", "t", "tdg"].
depth (int):
The gate-depth of the the basic approximations. All possible, unique combinations of the basis gates up to length depth are considered. If None, defaults to 10.
recursion_degree (int):
The number of times the decomposition is recursively improved. If None, defaults to 3.
Methods
run
SolovayKitaevSynthesis.run(unitary, **options)
Run synthesis for the given unitary matrix
Parameters
- unitary (numpy.ndarray) – The unitary matrix to synthesize to a
DAGCircuitobject - options – The optional kwargs that are passed based on the output the
support_*methods on the class. Refer to the documentation for these methods onUnitarySynthesisPluginto see what the keys and values are.
Returns
The dag circuit representation of the unitary. Alternatively, you can return a tuple of the form (dag, wires) where dag is the dag circuit representation of the circuit representation of the unitary and wires is the mapping wires to use for qiskit.dagcircuit.DAGCircuit.substitute_node_with_dag(). If you return a tuple and wires is None this will behave just as if only a DAGCircuit was returned. Additionally if this returns None no substitution will be made.
Return type
Attributes
max_qubits
Maximum number of supported qubits is 1.
min_qubits
Minimum number of supported qubits is 1.
supported_bases
The plugin does not support bases for synthesis.
supports_basis_gates
The plugin does not support basis gates. By default it synthesis to the ["h", "t", "tdg"] gate basis.
supports_coupling_map
The plugin does not support coupling maps.
supports_gate_errors
The plugin does not support gate errors.
supports_gate_lengths
The plugin does not support gate lengths.
supports_natural_direction
The plugin does not support natural direction, it does not assume bidirectional two qubit gates.
supports_pulse_optimize
The plugin does not support optimization of pulses.
supports_target
Whether the plugin supports taking target as an option
target will be a Target object representing the target device for the output of the synthesis pass.
By default this will be False since the plugin interface predates the Target class. If a plugin returns True for this attribute, it is expected that the plugin will use the Target instead of the values passed if any of supports_gate_lengths, supports_gate_errors, supports_coupling_map, and supports_basis_gates are set (although ideally all those parameters should contain duplicate information).
