cirq.TwoQubitCompilationTargetGateset

Abstract base class to create two-qubit target gatesets.

Inherits From: CompilationTargetGateset, Gateset

cirq.TwoQubitCompilationTargetGateset(
    *gates,
    name: Optional[str] = None,
    unroll_circuit_op: bool = True,
    preserve_moment_structure: bool = True
)

This base class can be used to create two-qubit compilation target gatesets. It automatically implements the logic to

1. Apply `self.preprocess_transformers` to the input circuit, which by default will:
    a) Expand composite gates acting on > 2 qubits using <a href="../cirq/expand_composite"><code>cirq.expand_composite</code></a>.
    b) Merge connected components of 1 & 2 qubit unitaries into tagged
        <a href="../cirq/CircuitOperation"><code>cirq.CircuitOperation</code></a> using <a href="../cirq/merge_k_qubit_unitaries"><code>cirq.merge_k_qubit_unitaries</code></a>.

2. Apply `self.decompose_to_target_gateset` to rewrite each operation (including merged
connected components from 1b) using gates from this gateset.
    a) Uses `self._decompose_single_qubit_operation`, `self._decompose_two_qubit_operation`
       and `self._decompose_multi_qubit_operation` to figure out how to rewrite (merged
       connected components of) operations using only gates from this gateset.
    b) A merged connected component containing only 1 & 2q gates from this gateset is
       replaced with a more efficient rewrite using `self._decompose_two_qubit_operation`
       iff the rewritten op-tree is lesser number of 2q interactions.

    Replace connected components with inefficient implementations (higher number of 2q
       interactions) with efficient rewrites to minimize total number of 2q interactions.

3. Apply `self.postprocess_transformers` to the transformed circuit, which by default will:
    a) Apply <a href="../cirq/merge_single_qubit_moments_to_phxz"><code>cirq.merge_single_qubit_moments_to_phxz</code></a> to preserve moment structure (eg:
       alternating layers of single/two qubit gates).
    b) Apply <a href="../cirq/drop_negligible_operations"><code>cirq.drop_negligible_operations</code></a> and <a href="../cirq/drop_empty_moments"><code>cirq.drop_empty_moments</code></a> to minimize
       circuit depth.

Derived classes should simply implement self._decompose_two_qubit_operation abstract method and provide analytical decomposition of any 2q unitary using gates from the target gateset.

*gates A list of cirq.Gate subclasses / cirq.Gate instances / cirq.GateFamily instances to initialize the Gateset.
name (Optional) Name for the Gateset. Useful for description.
unroll_circuit_op If True, cirq.CircuitOperation is recursively validated by validating the underlying cirq.Circuit.
preserve_moment_structure Whether to preserve the moment structure of the circuit during compilation or not.

gates

name

num_qubits Maximum number of qubits on which a gate from this gateset can act upon.
postprocess_transformers List of transformers which should be run after decomposing individual operations.
preprocess_transformers List of transformers which should be run before decomposing individual operations.

Methods

decompose_to_target_gateset

View source

decompose_to_target_gateset(
    op: 'cirq.Operation', moment_idx: int
) -> DecomposeResult

Method to rewrite the given operation using gates from this gateset.

Args
op cirq.Operation to be rewritten using gates from this gateset.
moment_idx Moment index where the given operation op occurs in a circuit.

Returns

  • An equivalent cirq.OP_TREE implementing op using gates from this gateset.
  • None or NotImplemented if does not know how to decompose op.

validate

View source

validate(
    circuit_or_optree: Union['cirq.Operation', op_tree.OP_TREE]
) -> bool

Validates gates forming circuit_or_optree should be contained in Gateset.

Args
circuit_or_optree The cirq.Circuit or cirq.OP_TREE to validate.

with_params

View source

with_params(
    *, name: Optional[str] = None, unroll_circuit_op: Optional[bool] = None
) -> 'Gateset'

Returns a copy of this Gateset with identical gates and new values for named arguments.

If a named argument is None then corresponding value of this Gateset is used instead.

Args
name New name for the Gateset.
unroll_circuit_op If True, new Gateset will recursively validate cirq.CircuitOperation by validating the underlying cirq.Circuit.

Returns
self if all new values are None or identical to the values of current Gateset. else a new Gateset with identical gates and new values for named arguments.

__contains__

View source

__contains__(
    item: Union[cirq.Gate, cirq.Operation]
) -> bool

Check for containment of a given Gate/Operation in this Gateset.

Containment checks are handled as follows:

The complexity of the method in terms of the number of gates, n, is

  • O(1) when any default cirq.GateFamily instance accepts the given item, except for an Instance GateFamily trying to match an item with a different global phase.
  • O(n) for all other cases: matching against custom gate families, matching across global phase for the default Instance GateFamily, no match against any underlying gate family.

Args
item The cirq.Gate or cirq.Operation instance to check containment for.
