qat.pbo.decompositions.ions_decomposition()

The ion decomposition is used to decompose a one qubit gate into a pattern of the form \(R_Z(\beta) \cdot R_X(\frac{\pi}{2}) \cdot R_Z(\gamma) \cdot R_X(\frac{\pi}{2}) \cdot R_Z(\delta)\)

This method is designed to be used directly in a KAKCompression plugin:

from qat.pbo.decompositions import ions_decomposition
from qat.plugins import KAKCompression

plugin = KAKCompression(**ions_decomposition())

Returns:

the one qubit gate decomposition: result["variables"] is a list of VAR corresponding to the abstract matrix and result["pattern"] is a pattern function of this matrix

Return type:

dict
