DraperQFTAdder
class qiskit.circuit.library.DraperQFTAdder(num_state_qubits, kind='fixed', name='DraperQFTAdder')
Bases: Adder
A circuit that uses QFT to perform in-place addition on two qubit registers.
For registers with qubits, the QFT adder can perform addition modulo (with kind="fixed") or ordinary addition by adding a carry qubits (with kind="half").
As an example, a non-fixed_point QFT adder circuit that performs addition on two 2-qubit sized registers is as follows:
a_0: ─────────■──────■────────────────────────■────────────────
│ │ │
a_1: ─────────┼──────┼────────■──────■────────┼────────────────
┌──────┐ │P(π) │ │ │ │ ┌───────┐
b_0: ┤0 ├─■──────┼────────┼──────┼────────┼───────┤0 ├
│ │ │P(π/2) │P(π) │ │ │ │
b_1: ┤1 qft ├────────■────────■──────┼────────┼───────┤1 iqft ├
│ │ │P(π/2) │P(π/4) │ │
cout_0: ┤2 ├────────────────────────■────────■───────┤2 ├
└──────┘ └───────┘The following generic gate objects perform additions, like this circuit class, but allow 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 Adder=["qft_d00"].
ModularAdderGate: A generic inplace adder, modulo . This
is functionally equivalent to kind="fixed".
HalfAdderGate: A generic inplace adder. This
is functionally equivalent to kind="half".

Parameters
- num_state_qubits (int) – The number of qubits in either input register for state or . The two input registers must have the same number of qubits.
- kind (str) – The kind of adder, can be
'half'for a half adder or'fixed'for a fixed-sized adder. A half adder contains a carry-out to represent the most-significant bit, but the fixed-sized adder doesn’t and hence performs addition modulo2 ** num_state_qubits. - name (str) – The name of the circuit object.
Raises
ValueError – If num_state_qubits is lower than 1.
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}}
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.
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: 157
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_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.
