[docs]class GraphState(QuantumCircuit): r"""Circuit to prepare a graph state. Given a graph G = (V, E), with the set of vertices V and the set of edges E, the corresponding graph state is defined as .. math:: |G\rangle = \prod_{(a,b) \in E} CZ_{(a,b)} {|+\rangle}^{\otimes V} Such a state can be prepared by first preparing all qubits in the :math:`+` state, then applying a :math:`CZ` gate for each corresponding graph edge. Graph state preparation circuits are Clifford circuits, and thus easy to simulate classically. However, by adding a layer of measurements in a product basis at the end, there is evidence that the circuit becomes hard to simulate [2]. **Reference Circuit:** .. jupyter-execute:: :hide-code: from qiskit.circuit.library import GraphState import qiskit.tools.jupyter import networkx as nx G = nx.Graph() G.add_edges_from([(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 1)]) adjmat = nx.adjacency_matrix(G) circuit = GraphState(adjmat.toarray()) %circuit_library_info circuit **References:** [1] M.
