# LayerLnnSynthesisClifford

*class* `qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.hls_plugins.LayerLnnSynthesisClifford`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/2.1/qiskit/transpiler/passes/synthesis/hls_plugins.py#L675-L690)

Bases: [`HighLevelSynthesisPlugin`](/docs/api/qiskit/2.1/qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.plugin.HighLevelSynthesisPlugin "qiskit.transpiler.passes.synthesis.plugin.HighLevelSynthesisPlugin")

Clifford synthesis plugin based on the Bravyi-Maslov method to synthesize Cliffords into layers, with each layer synthesized adhering to LNN connectivity.

This plugin name is :`clifford.lnn` which can be used as the key on an [`HLSConfig`](/docs/api/qiskit/2.1/qiskit.transpiler.passes.HLSConfig "qiskit.transpiler.passes.HLSConfig") object to use this method with [`HighLevelSynthesis`](/docs/api/qiskit/2.1/qiskit.transpiler.passes.HighLevelSynthesis "qiskit.transpiler.passes.HighLevelSynthesis").

## Methods

### run

`run(high_level_object, coupling_map=None, target=None, qubits=None, **options)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/2.1/qiskit/transpiler/passes/synthesis/hls_plugins.py#L684-L690)

Run synthesis for the given Clifford.
