Cycle¶

class trueq.Cycle(content=None, marker=0)¶

Represents a “clock cycle” of a Circuit; a set of Gates that happen in parallel to a disjoint set of systems. The storage format is a dict that maps tuples of system labels to Gate objects. Any given system can only be addressed once in a Cycle.

This class is iterable, yielding tuples of the form (labels, gate).

import trueq as tq
# Single system operations can be applied to multiple systems at once
cycle = tq.Cycle({(0, 1): tq.Gate.cnot, (2, 3, 4): tq.Gate.t})

for labels, operation in cycle:
    print(f'Labels: {str(labels): <8}\tOperation: {operation}')

Labels: (0, 1)  	Operation: Gate.cx
Labels: (2,)    	Operation: Gate.t
Labels: (3,)    	Operation: Gate.t
Labels: (4,)    	Operation: Gate.t

Compilation tools will only perform actions on lists of contiguous cycles with equal markers; markers serve as a compiler directive describing which portions of a circuit can be recompiled as a block.

Parameters

content (dict) – A dict whose keys are tuples and whose values are Operations; the method add() is called on each pair.
marker (int) – An identifier used to label related cycles for compiler and benchmarking tools.

property dim¶
