pyqonvert.optimization.eliminate_identities

pyqonvert.optimization.eliminate_identities(circuit, identity_tolerance)

Optimize circuit by eliminating identity gates.

Parameters:

• circuit (Circuit) -- The circuit that is optimized.

• identity_tolerance (float) -- Tolerance for identifying a single qubit gate with identity. If gate.alpha_r <= identity_tolerance the gate is taken to be the identity.

Returns:

without identity gates.

Return type:

Circuit

Raises:

• ValueError -- The input cannot be converted to a Circuit.

• RuntimeError -- Error during optimization.
