IQP

class qiskit.circuit.library.IQP(interactions)

Bases: QuantumCircuit

Instantaneous quantum polynomial (IQP) circuit.

The circuit consists of a column of Hadamard gates, a column of powers of T gates, a sequence of powers of CS gates (up to $\frac{n^2-n}{2}$ of them), and a final column of Hadamard gates, as introduced in [1].

The circuit is parameterized by an n x n interactions matrix. The powers of each T gate are given by the diagonal elements of the interactions matrix. The powers of the CS gates are given by the upper triangle of the interactions matrix.
