Circuit

Circuit

Bases: Block

The Circuit object is a symbolic representation of a quantum circuit for qubits, qudits, or for an infinite-dimensional Fock space. The circuit is composed of a sequence of quantum operators on wires which define the evolution of the quantum

Attributes:

Name Type Description
ops dict[Union[str, int], AbstractOp]

A dictionary of ops (dictionary value) with an assigned label (dictionary key).
Example 
circuit = Circuit(backend='pure')
circuit.add(DiscreteVariableState(wires=(0,)))
circuit.add(HGate(wires=(0,)))
