qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.decompose

QuantumCircuit.decompose(gates_to_decompose=None, reps=1)

Call a decomposition pass on this circuit, to decompose one level (shallow decompose).

Parameters

• gates_to_decompose (str or list(str)) – optional subset of gates to decompose. Defaults to all gates in circuit.

• reps (int) – Optional number of times the circuit should be decomposed. For instance, reps=2 equals calling circuit.decompose().decompose(). can decompose specific gates specific time

Returns

a circuit one level decomposed

Return type
