qiskit.transpiler.CouplingMap

class CouplingMap(couplinglist=None, description=None)

Directed graph specifying fixed coupling.

Nodes correspond to physical qubits (integers) and directed edges correspond to permitted CNOT gates

Create coupling graph. By default, the generated coupling has no nodes.

Parâmetros

• couplinglist (list or None) – An initial coupling graph, specified as an adjacency list containing couplings, e.g. [[0,1], [0,2], [1,2]].

• description (str) – A string to describe the coupling map.

__init__(couplinglist=None, description=None)

Create coupling graph. By default, the generated coupling has no nodes.

Parâmetros

• couplinglist (list or None) – An initial coupling graph, specified as an adjacency list containing couplings, e.g. [[0,1], [0,2], [1,2]].

• description (str) – A string to describe the coupling map.

add_edge(src, dst)

Add directed edge to coupling graph.

src (int): source physical qubit dst (int): destination physical qubit

add_physical_qubit(physical_qubit)

Add a physical qubit to the coupling graph as a node.

physical_qubit (int): An integer representing a physical qubit.

Levanta

CouplingError – if trying to add duplicate qubit

distance(physical_qubit1, physical_qubit2)

Returns the undirected distance between physical_qubit1 and physical_qubit2.

Parâmetros

• physical_qubit1 (int) – A physical qubit

• physical_qubit2 (int) – Another physical qubit

Retorna

The undirected distance

Tipo de retorno

int

Levanta

CouplingError – if the qubits do not exist in the CouplingMap

draw()

Draws the coupling map.

This function needs pydot, which in turn needs Graphviz to be installed. Additionally, pillow will need to be installed.

Retorna

Drawn coupling map.

Tipo de retorno

PIL.Image

Levanta

ImportError – when pydot or pillow are not installed.
