The gate is anonymous (not tied to a named quantum register), and so can be inserted into another circuit. The gate will have the same string name as the circuit. Args: circuit (QuantumCircuit): the input circuit. parameter_map (dict): For parameterized circuits, a mapping from parameters in the circuit to parameters to be used in the gate. If None, existing circuit parameters will also parameterize the Gate. equivalence_library (EquivalenceLibrary): Optional equivalence library where the converted gate will be registered. Raises: QiskitError: if circuit is non-unitary or if parameter_map is not compatible with circuit Return: Gate: a Gate equivalent to the action of the input circuit. Upon decomposition, this gate will yield the components comprising the original circuit.
