CircuitInstruction

class CircuitInstruction(operation, qubits=(), clbits=())

Bases: object

A single instruction in a QuantumCircuit, comprised of the operation and various operands.

Warning

This is a lightweight internal class and there is minimal error checking; you must respect the type hints when using it. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that direct mutations of the object do not invalidate the types, nor the restrictions placed on it by its context. Typically this will mean, for example, that qubits must be a sequence of distinct items, with no duplicates.

Methods

copy	Return a shallow copy of the CircuitInstruction.
replace	Return a new CircuitInstruction with the given fields replaced.

Attributes

operation: qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction

The logical operation that this instruction represents an execution of.

qubits: Tuple[qiskit.circuit.quantumregister.Qubit, ...]

A sequence of the qubits that the operation is applied to.

clbits: Tuple[qiskit.circuit.classicalregister.Clbit, ...]

A sequence of the classical bits that this operation reads from or writes to.
