qiskit.synthesis.generate_basic_approximations

generate_basic_approximations(basis_gates, depth, filename=None)

Generates a list of GateSequence``s with the gates in ``basic_gates.

Parameters

• basis_gates (list[str | Gate]) – The gates from which to create the sequences of gates.
• depth (int) – The maximum depth of the approximations.
• filename (str | None) – If provided, the basic approximations are stored in this file.

Return type

list[GateSequence]

Returns

List of GateSequences using the gates in basic_gates.

Raises

ValueError – If basis_gates contains an invalid gate identifier.
