B2BSynthesisPluginManager

class B2BSynthesisPluginManager

Bases: object

A simple manager of the installed boson-to-boson synthesis plugins.

All plugins that are registered under the qiskit_bosons.circuit.synthesis entry-point will be available to this class and get exposed by the plugins attribute. The name of an entry point is the name of the gate class followed by the name of the method, separated by a dot, for example ModeRotation.Clements. Below is the table from the pyproject.toml of this package itself:

[project.entry-points."qiskit_bosons.circuit.synthesis"]
"Evolution.LieTrotter" = "qiskit_bosons.circuit.library.synthesis:BosonicLieTrotter"
"Evolution.SuzukiTrotter" = "qiskit_bosons.circuit.library.synthesis:BosonicSuzukiTrotter"
"Evolution.QDrift" = "qiskit_bosons.circuit.library.synthesis:BosonicQDrift"
"ModeRotation.Clements" = "qiskit_bosons.circuit.library.synthesis:BosonicClementsDecomposition"

An overview of all builtin plugins is given here.

Attributes

plugins: dict[str, list[str]]

A dictionary mapping gate names to their synthesis methods.

The keys of this dictionary are names of BosonicGate classes. The values are the list of installed B2BSynthesisPlugin methods that may be used to synthesize the instances of that particular gate.

Methods

method(op_name, method_name)

Returns the requested B2BSynthesisPlugin type.

Parameters:

• op_name (str) – the name of the gate whose plugin to return.

• method_name (str) – the name of the synthesis plugin.

Returns:

The B2BSynthesisPlugin class.

Raises:

KeyError – if no plugin is registered under that name.

Return type:

type[B2BSynthesisPlugin]

method_names(op_name)

Returns the names of all installed plugin methods for a given gate.

Parameters:

op_name (str) – the name of the gate whose synthesis methods to return.

Returns:

The list of installed plugin method names.

Return type:

list[str]

op_names()

Returns the names of all gates for which any plugin is installed.

Return type:

list[str]
