qml.estimator.resource_operator.CompressedResourceOp

class CompressedResourceOp(op_type, num_wires, params=None, name=None)

Bases: object

Defines a lightweight class corresponding to the operator type and its parameters.

This class is a minimal representation of a ResourceOperator, containing only the operator type and the necessary parameters to estimate its resources. It is designed for efficient hashing and comparison, allowing it to be used effectively in collections where uniqueness and quick lookups are important.

Parameters:

• op_type (type[ResourceOperator]) – the class object of an operation which inherits from ResourceOperator

• num_wires (int) – The number of wires that the operation acts upon, excluding any auxiliary wires that are allocated on decomposition.

• params (dict) – A dictionary containing the minimal pairs of parameter names and values required to compute the resources for the given operator.

• name (str | None) – A custom name for the compressed operator. If not provided, a name will be generated using op_type.make_tracking_name with the given parameters.

Usage Details

This representation is the minimal amount of information required to estimate resources for an operator.

Example

>>> from pennylane import estimator as qre
>>> compressed_hadamard = qre.CompressedResourceOp(qre.Hadamard, num_wires=1)
>>> print(compressed_hadamard)
CompressedResourceOp(Hadamard, num_wires=1)

Attributes

name	Returns the name of operator.

name

Returns the name of operator.
