qubits If a sequence of qubits, then these are the qubits that the circuit should act on. Because the qubits on which an operation acts are chosen randomly, not all given qubits may be acted upon. If an int, then this number of qubits will be automatically generated, and the qubits will be cirq.NamedQubits with names given by the integers in range(qubits).
n_moments The number of moments in the generated circuit.
op_density The probability that a gate is selected to operate on randomly selected qubits. Note that this is not the expected number of qubits that are acted on, since there are cases where the number of qubits that a gate acts on does not evenly divide the total number of qubits.
gate_domain The set of gates to choose from, specified as a dictionary where each key is a gate and the value of the key is the number of qubits the gate acts on. If not provided, the default gate domain is {X, Y, Z, H, S, T, CNOT, CZ, SWAP, ISWAP, CZPowGate()}. Only gates which act on a number of qubits less than len(qubits) (or qubits if provided as an int) are selected from the gate domain.
random_state Random state or random state seed.

ValueError 

* op_density is not in (0, 1].
  • gate_domain is empty.
  • qubits is an int less than 1 or an empty sequence.
