Bases:

Instantaneous quantum polynomial time (IQP) circuit.

The circuit consists of a column of Hadamard gates, a column of powers of T gates, a sequence of powers of CS gates (up to $\frac{n^2-n}{2}$ of them), and a final column of Hadamard gates, as introduced in [1].

The circuit is parameterized by an $n \times n$ interactions matrix. The powers of each T gate are given by the diagonal elements of the interactions matrix. The powers of the CS gates are given by the upper triangle of the interactions matrix.

Parameters

interactions (Sequence[Sequence[int]]) – The interactions as symmetric square matrix. If None, then the num_qubits argument must be set and a random IQP circuit will be generated.

Returns
