qiskit.converters.circuit_to_dag

circuit_to_dag(circuit, copy_operations=True)

Build a DAGCircuit object from a QuantumCircuit.

Parameters

• circuit (QuantumCircuit) – the input circuit.
• copy_operations (bool) – Deep copy the operation objects in the QuantumCircuit for the output DAGCircuit. This should only be set to False if the input QuantumCircuit will not be used anymore as the operations in the output DAGCircuit will be shared instances and modifications to operations in the DAGCircuit will be reflected in the QuantumCircuit (and vice versa).

Returns

the DAG representing the input circuit.

Return type

DAGCircuit

Example

from qiskit import QuantumRegister, ClassicalRegister, QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.dagcircuit import DAGCircuit
from qiskit.converters import circuit_to_dag
 
q = QuantumRegister(3, 'q')
c = ClassicalRegister(3, 'c')
circ = QuantumCircuit(q, c)
circ.h(q[0])
circ.cx(q[0], q[1])
circ.measure(q[0], c[0])
circ.rz(0.5, q[1]).c_if(c, 2)
dag = circuit_to_dag(circ)
