Expand description

A trait defining the interface for all operators.

Required Methods§

Source

fn apply( &self, state: &State, target_qubits: &[usize], control_qubits: &[usize], ) -> Result<State, Error>

Applies the operator to the given state’s target qubits, using the control qubits if required.

§Arguments:

  • state - The state to apply the operator to.

  • target_qubits - The target qubits to apply the operator to. If no target qubits are specified, the operator will be applied to all qubits in the state.

  • control_qubits - The control qubits to apply the operator to.

§Returns:
  • The new state after applying the operator.
Source

fn base_qubits(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of qubits that the operator acts on.

§Returns:
  • The number of qubits that the operator acts on.
