CNOTUnitCircuit
class qiskit.synthesis.unitary.aqc.CNOTUnitCircuit(num_qubits, cnots, tol=0.0, name=None)
Bases: ApproximateCircuit
A class that represents an approximate circuit based on CNOT unit blocks.
Parameters
- num_qubits (int) – the number of qubits in this circuit.
- cnots (np.ndarray) – an array of dimensions
(2, L)
indicating where the CNOT units will be placed. - tol (Optional[float]) – angle parameter less or equal this (small) value is considered equal zero and corresponding gate is not inserted into the output circuit (because it becomes identity one in this case).
- name (Optional[str]) – name of this circuit
Raises
ValueError – if an unsupported parameter is passed.
Attributes
ancillas
A list of AncillaQubit
s 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}}
clbits
A list of Clbit
s 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 CircuitInstruction
s for each instruction.
Return type
QuantumCircuitData
global_phase
The global phase of the current circuit scope in radians.
instances
Default value: 160
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 SwapGate
s 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_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.
prefix
Default value: 'circuit'
qubits
A list of Qubit
s in the order that they were added. You should not mutate this.
thetas
Returns a vector of rotation angles used by CNOT units in this circuit.
Returns
Parameters of the rotation gates in this circuit.
name
Type: str
A human-readable name for the circuit.
qregs
Type: list[QuantumRegister]
A list of the QuantumRegister
s in this circuit. You should not mutate this.
cregs
Type: list[ClassicalRegister]
A list of the ClassicalRegister
s in this circuit. You should not mutate this.
duration
Type: int | float | None
The total duration of the circuit, set by a scheduling transpiler pass. Its unit is specified by unit
.
unit
The unit that duration
is specified in.
Methods
build
build(thetas)
Constructs a Qiskit quantum circuit out of the parameters (angles) of this circuit. If a
parameter value is less in absolute value than the specified tolerance then the corresponding rotation gate will be skipped in the circuit.
