qiskit.compiler.schedule

schedule(circuits, backend=None, inst_map=None, meas_map=None, dt=None, method=None)

Schedule a circuit to a pulse Schedule, using the backend, according to any specified methods. Supported methods are documented in qiskit.scheduler.schedule_circuit.

Parameters

• circuits (Union[QuantumCircuit, List[QuantumCircuit]]) – The quantum circuit or circuits to translate
• backend (Optional[Backend]) – A backend instance, which contains hardware-specific data required for scheduling
• inst_map (Optional[InstructionScheduleMap]) – Mapping of circuit operations to pulse schedules. If None, defaults to the backend’s instruction_schedule_map
• meas_map (Optional[List[List[int]]]) – List of sets of qubits that must be measured together. If None, defaults to the backend’s meas_map
• dt (Optional[float]) – The output sample rate of backend control electronics. For scheduled circuits which contain time information, dt is required. If not provided, it will be obtained from the backend configuration
• method (Union[str, List[str], None]) – Optionally specify a particular scheduling method

Return type

Union[Schedule, List[Schedule]]

Returns

A pulse Schedule that implements the input circuit

Raises

QiskitError – If inst_map and meas_map are not passed and backend is not passed
