GateConfig

class qiskit.providers.models.GateConfig(name, parameters, qasm_def, coupling_map=None, latency_map=None, conditional=None, description=None)

Bases: object

Class representing a Gate Configuration

name

the gate name as it will be referred to in OpenQASM.

parameters

variable names for the gate parameters (if any).

qasm_def

definition of this gate in terms of OpenQASM 2 primitives U and CX.

Initialize a GateConfig object

Parameters:

• name (str) – the gate name as it will be referred to in OpenQASM.

• parameters (list) – variable names for the gate parameters (if any) as a list of strings.

• qasm_def (str) – definition of this gate in terms of OpenQASM 2 primitives U and CX.

• coupling_map (list) – An optional coupling map for the gate. In the form of a list of lists of integers representing the qubit groupings which are coupled by this gate.

• latency_map (list) – An optional map of latency for the gate. In the the form of a list of lists of integers of either 0 or 1 representing an array of dimension len(coupling_map) X n_registers that specifies the register latency (1: fast, 0: slow) conditional operations on the gate

• conditional (bool) – Optionally specify whether this gate supports conditional operations (true/false). If this is not specified, then the gate inherits the conditional property of the backend.

• description (str) – Description of the gate operation

Methods

classmethod from_dict(data)

Create a new GateConfig object from a dictionary.

Parameters:

data (dict) – A dictionary representing the GateConfig to create. It will be in the same format as output by to_dict().

Returns:

The GateConfig from the input dictionary.

Return type:

GateConfig

to_dict()

Return a dictionary format representation of the GateConfig.

Returns:

The dictionary form of the GateConfig.

Return type:

dict
