cirq.google.ConvertToXmonGates

class cirq.google.ConvertToXmonGates(ignore_failures=False)

Attempts to convert strange gates into XmonGates.

First, checks if the given operation is already a native xmon operation.

Second, checks if the operation has a known unitary. If so, and the gate

is a 1-qubit or 2-qubit gate, then performs circuit synthesis of the

operation.

Third, attempts to cirq.decompose to the operation.

Fourth, if ignore_failures is set, gives up and returns the gate unchanged.

Otherwise raises a TypeError.

__init__(ignore_failures=False) → None

Parameters:ignore_failures – If set, gates that fail to convert are forwarded unchanged. If not set, conversion failures raise a TypeError.

Methods

convert(op)
optimization_at(circuit, index, op)	Describes how to change operations near the given location.
optimize_circuit(circuit)	Rewrites the given circuit to make it better.
