LitinskiTransformation

class qiskit.transpiler.passes.LitinskiTransformation(*args, **kwargs)

GitHub

Bases: TransformationPass

Applies Litinski transform to a circuit.

The transform applies to a circuit containing Clifford + RZ-rotation gates (including T and Tdg), and moves Clifford gates to the end of the circuit, while changing rotation gates to multi-qubit rotations (represented using PauliEvolution gates).

The pass supports all of the Clifford gates in the list returned by get_clifford_gate_names():

["id", "x", "y", "z", "h", "s", "sdg", "sx", "sxdg", "cx", "cz", "cy", "swap","iswap", "ecr", "dcx"]

The list of supported RZ-rotations is:

["t", "tdg", "rz"]

Parameters

fix_clifford – if False (non-default), the returned circuit contains only PauliEvolution gates, with the final Clifford gates omitted. Note that in this case the operators of the original and synthesized circuits will generally not be equivalent.


Attributes

is_analysis_pass

Check if the pass is an analysis pass.

If the pass is an AnalysisPass, that means that the pass can analyze the DAG and write the results of that analysis in the property set. Modifications on the DAG are not allowed by this kind of pass.

is_transformation_pass

Check if the pass is a transformation pass.

If the pass is a TransformationPass, that means that the pass can manipulate the DAG, but cannot modify the property set (but it can be read).


Methods

execute

execute(passmanager_ir, state, callback=None)

GitHub

Execute optimization task for input Qiskit IR.

Parameters

  • passmanager_ir (Any) – Qiskit IR to optimize.
  • state (PassManagerState) – State associated with workflow execution by the pass manager itself.
  • callback (Callable | None) – A callback function which is caller per execution of optimization task.

Returns

Optimized Qiskit IR and state of the workflow.

Return type

tuple[Any, qiskit.passmanager.compilation_status.PassManagerState]

name

name()

GitHub

Name of the pass.

Return type

str

run

run(dag)

GitHub

Run the LitiskiTransformation pass on dag.

Parameters

dag (DAGCircuit) – the input DAG.

Returns

The output DAG.

Raises

TranspilerError – if the circuit contains gates not supported by the pass.

Return type

DAGCircuit

update_status

update_status(state, run_state)

GitHub

Update workflow status.

Parameters

  • state (PassManagerState) – Pass manager state to update.
  • run_state (RunState) – Completion status of current task.

Returns

Updated pass manager state.

Return type

PassManagerState
