class interlinq.objects.circuit.Circuit(q_map: dict, layers: list = [], qubits: list = [])

Circuit object which contains information about a quantum circuit.

add_layer_to_circuit(layer)

Add a new Layer object to the circuit

Parameters

layer (Layer) – List of operations to be applied to the system

add_new_qubit(qubit_info: dict)

Add a new qubit to the circuit.

Parameters

qubit_info (dict) – A mapping of the computing hosts ID to the list of new qubits required for the circuit in that host

control_gate_info()

Get information about the control gates between two different computing hosts in the circuit. This information includes the operation index in the layer, the associated computing host IDs, control qubit for the control gate.

Returns

Layer-wise list of control gate information in the circuit

Return type

(list)

create_layers(qubits: list)

Create layers for the circuit from the qubits provided.

Parameters

qubits (list) – The qubits in the layer.

insert_layer(index: int, layer: interlinq.objects.layer.Layer)

Insert a new layer object at a particular index in the circuit.

Parameters

• index (int) – Index at which the new layer should be inserted at

• layer (Layer) – new layer object to be inserted

property layers

Get the layers of the circuit.

Returns

List of Layer objects, where each layer contains a collection

of gates to be applied on the qubits in the system

Return type

(list)

property q_map

Get the q_map of the circuit.

Returns

A mapping of the computing hosts IDS to the list of qubits

required for the circuit in that host

Return type

(dict)

property qubits

Get the qubits of the circuit.

Returns

List of Qubit objects, where each qubit object stores the

list of operations applied on it

Return type

(list)

total_qubits()

Get the total number of qubits in the circuit.

Returns

total number of qubits in circuit

Return type

(int)

update_layer(index: int, layer: interlinq.objects.layer.Layer)

Update a layer object at a particular index with a new value.

Parameters

• index (int) – Index at which the new layer should be updated

• layer (Layer) – layer object to be updated

update_qubits(qubits: list)

Update qubits in the circuit.

Parameters

qubits (list) – List of Qubit objects, where each qubit object stores the list of operations applied on it
