Attributes
Parameters
- theta (ParameterValueType) –
- phi (ParameterValueType) –
- lam (ParameterValueType) –
- label (Optional[str]) –
base_class
Get the base class of this instruction. This is guaranteed to be in the inheritance tree of self
.
The “base class” of an instruction is the lowest class in its inheritance tree that the object should be considered entirely compatible with for _all_ circuit applications. This typically means that the subclass is defined purely to offer some sort of programmer convenience over the base class, and the base class is the “true” class for a behavioral perspective. In particular, you should not override base_class
if you are defining a custom version of an instruction that will be implemented differently by hardware, such as an alternative measurement strategy, or a version of a parametrized gate with a particular set of parameters for the purposes of distinguishing it in a Target
from the full parametrized gate.
This is often exactly equivalent to type(obj)
, except in the case of singleton instances of standard-library instructions. These singleton instances are special subclasses of their base class, and this property will return that base. For example:
>>> isinstance(XGate(), XGate)
True
>>> type(XGate()) is XGate
False
>>> XGate().base_class is XGate
True
In general, you should not rely on the precise class of an instruction; within a given circuit, it is expected that Instruction.name
should be a more suitable discriminator in most situations.
condition
The classical condition on the instruction.
The property qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction.condition
is deprecated as of qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in 2.0.0.
condition_bits
Get Clbits in condition.
The property qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction.condition_bits
is deprecated as of qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in 2.0.0.
decompositions
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
definition
Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
duration
Get the duration.
The property qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction.duration
is deprecated as of qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0.0.
label
Return instruction label
mutable
Is this instance is a mutable unique instance or not.
If this attribute is False
the gate instance is a shared singleton and is not mutable.
name
Return the name.
num_clbits
Return the number of clbits.
num_qubits
Return the number of qubits.
params
The parameters of this Instruction
. Ideally these will be gate angles.
unit
Get the time unit of duration.
The property qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction.unit
is deprecated as of qiskit 1.3.0. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0.0.
Methods
control
control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None, annotated=None)
Return a (multi-)controlled-U3 gate.
Parameters
- num_ctrl_qubits (int) – number of control qubits.
- label (str | None) – An optional label for the gate [Default:
None
] - ctrl_state (str |int | None) – control state expressed as integer, string (e.g.``’110’
), or ``None
. IfNone
, use all 1s. - annotated (bool | None) – indicates whether the controlled gate should be implemented as an annotated gate. If
None
, this is set toTrue
if the gate contains free parameters and more than one control qubit, in which case it cannot yet be synthesized. Otherwise it is set toFalse
.
Returns
controlled version of this gate.
Return type
inverse
inverse(annotated=False)
Return inverted U3 gate.
Parameters
annotated (bool) – when set to True
, this is typically used to return an AnnotatedOperation
with an inverse modifier set instead of a concrete Gate
. However, for this class this argument is ignored as the inverse of this gate is always a U3Gate
with inverse parameter values.
Returns
inverse gate.
