CXDirection

CXDirection(*args, **kwargs) GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Bases: qiskit.transpiler.passes.utils.gate_direction.GateDirection

Deprecated: use qiskit.transpiler.passes.GateDirection pass instead.

GateDirection pass.

Parameters

  • coupling_map (CouplingMap) – Directed graph represented a coupling map.
  • target (Target) – The backend target to use for this pass. If this is specified it will be used instead of the coupling map

Methods

name

CXDirection.name()

Return the name of the pass.

run

CXDirection.run(dag)

Run the GateDirection pass on dag.

Flips the cx nodes to match the directed coupling map. Modifies the input dag.

Parameters

dag (DAGCircuit) – DAG to map.

Returns

The rearranged dag for the coupling map

Return type

DAGCircuit

Raises

TranspilerError – If the circuit cannot be mapped just by flipping the cx nodes.


Attributes

is_analysis_pass

Check if the pass is an analysis pass.

If the pass is an AnalysisPass, that means that the pass can analyze the DAG and write the results of that analysis in the property set. Modifications on the DAG are not allowed by this kind of pass.

is_transformation_pass

Check if the pass is a transformation pass.

If the pass is a TransformationPass, that means that the pass can manipulate the DAG, but cannot modify the property set (but it can be read).
