EquivalenceLibrary

Return graph representing the equivalence library data.

This property should be treated as read-only as it provides a reference to the internal state of the EquivalenceLibrary object. If the graph returned by this property is mutated it could corrupt the the contents of the object. If you need to modify the output PyDiGraph be sure to make a copy prior to any modification.

Returns

A graph object with equivalence data in each node.

Return type

PyDiGraph

add_equivalence(gate, equivalent_circuit)

Add a new equivalence to the library. Future queries for the Gate will include the given circuit, in addition to all existing equivalences (including those from base).

Parameterized Gates (those including qiskit.circuit.Parameters in their Gate.params) can be marked equivalent to parameterized circuits, provided the parameters match.

Parameters

• gate (Gate) – A Gate instance.
• equivalent_circuit (QuantumCircuit) – A circuit equivalently implementing the given Gate.

draw(filename=None)

Draws the equivalence relations available in the library.

Parameters

filename (str) – An optional path to write the output image to if specified this method will return None.

Returns

Drawn equivalence library as an

IPython SVG if in a jupyter notebook, or as a PIL.Image otherwise.

Return type

PIL.Image or IPython.display.SVG

Raises

InvalidFileError – if filename is not valid.

get_entry(gate)

Gets the set of QuantumCircuit instances circuits from the library which equivalently implement the given Gate.

Parameterized circuits will have their parameters replaced with the corresponding entries from Gate.params.

Parameters

gate (Gate) – A Gate instance.

Returns

A list of equivalent QuantumCircuit instances.

If empty, library contains no known decompositions of Gate.

Returned circuits will be ordered according to their insertion in the library, from earliest to latest, from top to base. The ordering of the StandardEquivalenceLibrary will not generally be consistent across Qiskit versions.

Return type

List[QuantumCircuit]

has_entry(gate)

Check if a library contains any decompositions for gate.

Parameters

gate (Gate) – A Gate instance.

Returns

True if gate has a known decomposition in the library.

False otherwise.

Return type

Bool

keys()

Return list of keys to key to node index map.

Returns

Keys to the key to node index map.

Return type

List

node_index(key)

Return node index for a given key.

Parameters

key (Key) – Key to an equivalence.

Returns

Index to the node in the graph for the given key.

Return type

Int

set_entry(gate, entry)

Set the equivalence record for a Gate. Future queries for the Gate will return only the circuits provided.

Parameterized Gates (those including qiskit.circuit.Parameters in their Gate.params) can be marked equivalent to parameterized circuits, provided the parameters match.

Parameters

• gate (Gate) – A Gate instance.
• entry (List['QuantumCircuit']) – A list of QuantumCircuit instances, each equivalently implementing the given Gate.
