Bases: Multiplier

A multiplication circuit to store product of two input registers out-of-place.

Circuit uses the approach from [1]. As an example, a multiplier circuit that performs a non-modular multiplication on two 3-qubit sized registers with the default adder is as follows (where Adder denotes the CDKMRippleCarryAdder):

  a_0: ────■─────────────────────────

  a_1: ────┼─────────■───────────────
           │         │
  a_2: ────┼─────────┼─────────■─────
       ┌───┴────┐┌───┴────┐┌───┴────┐
  b_0: ┤0       ├┤0       ├┤0       ├
       │        ││        ││        │

Multiplication in this circuit is implemented in a classical approach by performing a series of shifted additions using one of the input registers while the qubits from the other input register act as control qubits for the adders.

The MultiplierGate objects represents a multiplication, like this circuit class, but allows the compiler to select the optimal decomposition based on the context. Specific implementations can be set via the HLSConfig, e.g. this circuit can be chosen via Multiplier=["cumulative_h18"].

Parameters

  • num_state_qubits (int) – The number of qubits in either input register for state a|a\rangle or b|b\rangle. The two input registers must have the same number of qubits.
  • num_result_qubits (int | None) – The number of result qubits to limit the output to. If number of result qubits is nn, multiplication modulo 2n2^n is performed to limit the output to the specified number of qubits. Default value is 2 * num_state_qubits to represent any possible result from the multiplication of the two inputs.
  • adder (QuantumCircuit | None) – Half adder circuit to be used for performing multiplication. The CDKMRippleCarryAdder is used as default if no adder is provided.
  • name (str) – The name of the circuit object.

Raises

NotImplementedError – If num_result_qubits is not default and a custom adder is provided.


Attributes

ancillas

A list of AncillaQubits in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.

calibrations

Return calibration dictionary.

The custom pulse definition of a given gate is of the form {'gate_name': {(qubits, params): schedule}}

Deprecated since version 1.3

The property qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit.calibrations is deprecated as of Qiskit 1.3. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0. The entire Qiskit Pulse package is being deprecated and will be moved to the Qiskit Dynamics repository: https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-dynamics. Note that once removed, qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit.calibrations will have no alternative in Qiskit.

clbits

A list of Clbits in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.

data

The circuit data (instructions and context).

Returns

a list-like object containing the CircuitInstructions for each instruction.

Return type

QuantumCircuitData

duration

The total duration of the circuit, set by a scheduling transpiler pass. Its unit is specified by unit.

Deprecated since version 1.3.0

The property qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit.duration is deprecated as of Qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0.0.

global_phase

The global phase of the current circuit scope in radians.

instances

Default value: 223

layout

Return any associated layout information about the circuit

This attribute contains an optional TranspileLayout object. This is typically set on the output from transpile() or PassManager.run() to retain information about the permutations caused on the input circuit by transpilation.

There are two types of permutations caused by the transpile() function, an initial layout which permutes the qubits based on the selected physical qubits on the Target, and a final layout which is an output permutation caused by SwapGates inserted during routing.

metadata

Arbitrary user-defined metadata for the circuit.

Qiskit will not examine the content of this mapping, but it will pass it through the transpiler and reattach it to the output, so you can track your own metadata.

num_ancillas

Return the number of ancilla qubits.

num_captured_vars

The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as captured from an enclosing scope.

This is the length of the iter_captured_vars() iterable. If this is non-zero, num_input_vars must be zero.

num_clbits

Return number of classical bits.

num_declared_vars

The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit that are declared by this circuit scope, excluding inputs or captures.

This is the length of the iter_declared_vars() iterable.

num_input_vars

The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as circuit inputs.

This is the length of the iter_input_vars() iterable. If this is non-zero, num_captured_vars must be zero.

num_parameters

The number of parameter objects in the circuit.

num_qubits

Return number of qubits.

num_result_qubits

The number of result qubits to limit the output to.

Returns

The number of result qubits.

num_state_qubits

The number of state qubits, i.e. the number of bits in each input register.

Returns

The number of state qubits.

num_vars

The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit.

This is the length of the iter_vars() iterable.

op_start_times

Return a list of operation start times.

This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.

Returns

List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in QuantumCircuit.data.

Raises

AttributeError – When circuit is not scheduled.

parameters

The parameters defined in the circuit.

This attribute returns the Parameter objects in the circuit sorted alphabetically. Note that parameters instantiated with a ParameterVector are still sorted numerically.

Examples

The snippet below shows that insertion order of parameters does not matter.

>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> a, b, elephant = Parameter("a"), Parameter("b"), Parameter("elephant")
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.rx(b, 0)
>>> circuit.rz(elephant, 0)
>>> circuit.ry(a, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters  # sorted alphabetically!
ParameterView([Parameter(a), Parameter(b), Parameter(elephant)])

Bear in mind that alphabetical sorting might be unintuitive when it comes to numbers. The literal “10” comes before “2” in strict alphabetical sorting.

>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
>>> angles = [Parameter("angle_1"), Parameter("angle_2"), Parameter("angle_10")]
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> circuit.u(*angles, 0)
>>> circuit.draw()
   ┌─────────────────────────────┐
q:U(angle_1,angle_2,angle_10)
   └─────────────────────────────┘
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([Parameter(angle_1), Parameter(angle_10), Parameter(angle_2)])

To respect numerical sorting, a ParameterVector can be used.

>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter, ParameterVector
>>> x = ParameterVector("x", 12)
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
>>> for x_i in x:
...     circuit.rx(x_i, 0)
>>> circuit.parameters
ParameterView([
    ParameterVectorElement(x[0]), ParameterVectorElement(x[1]),
    ParameterVectorElement(x[2]), ParameterVectorElement(x[3]),
    ..., ParameterVectorElement(x[11])
])

Returns

The sorted Parameter objects in the circuit.
