Type renvoyé: Instruction

broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)¶

Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.

For example, cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2]) means cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2]). This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:

in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
      [q[1], q[2]], []

The general broadcasting rules are:

If len(qargs) == 1:
```
[q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]
```

If len(qargs) == 2:

[[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]]
[[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]]
[[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]

If len(qargs) >= 3:

[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]],  ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]

Paramètres

qargs (List) – List of quantum bit arguments.
cargs (List) – List of classical bit arguments.

Type renvoyé

Tuple[List, List]

Renvoie

label (str or None) – An optional label for the gate [Default: None]

Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.

Type renvoyé: int

property decompositions¶: Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
