"""Try to arrange a quantum circuit into a form suitable for Gaussian boson sampling.
This method checks whether the circuit can be implemented as a Gaussian boson sampling
problem, i.e., if it is equivalent to a circuit A+B, where the sequence A only contains
Gaussian operations, and B only contains Fock measurements.
If the answer is yes, the circuit is arranged into the A+B order, and all the Fock
measurements are combined into a single :class:`MeasureFock` operation.
Args:
seq (Sequence[Command]): quantum circuit to modify
registers (Sequence[RegRefs]): quantum registers
Returns:
List[Command]: modified circuit
Raises:
CircuitError: the circuit does not correspond to GBS
