r"""Deprecated: Circuit to gradient operator converter.
Converter for changing parameterized circuits into operators
whose evaluation yields the gradient with respect to the circuit parameters.
This is distinct from DerivativeBase converters which take gradients of composite
operators and handle things like differentiating combo_fn's and enforcing product rules
when operator coefficients are parameterized.
CircuitGradient - uses quantum techniques to get derivatives of circuits
DerivativeBase - uses classical techniques to differentiate operator flow data structures
