DAGCircuit.compose

DAGCircuit.compose(other, edge_map=None, qubits=None, clbits=None, front=False, inplace=True)[source]

Compose the other circuit onto the output of this circuit.

A subset of input wires of other are mapped to a subset of output wires of this circuit.

other can be narrower or of equal width to self.

Parameters

  • other (DAGCircuit) – circuit to compose with self

  • edge_map (dict) – DEPRECATED - a {Bit: Bit} map from input wires of other to output wires of self (i.e. rhs->lhs). The key, value pairs can be either Qubit or Clbit mappings.

  • qubits (list[Qubit|int]) – qubits of self to compose onto.

  • clbits (list[Clbit|int]) – clbits of self to compose onto.

  • front (bool) – If True, front composition will be performed (not implemented yet)

  • inplace (bool) – If True, modify the object. Otherwise return composed circuit.

Returns

the composed dag (returns None if inplace==True).

Return type

DAGCircuit

Raises

DAGCircuitError – if other is wider or there are duplicate edge mappings.
