[docs]class Xcov(Compiler): r"""General state compiler for the X class of circuits. An important property of this compilation routine is that it is done at the covariance matrix level. This implies that one should not use it to compare the interferometers of a given circuit since they may differ by permutations in the unitary and the squeezing parameters. This compiler accepts the following gates, decompositions, and measurements: * :class:`~.ops.S2gate` * :class:`~.ops.Sgate` * :class:`~.ops.Rgate` * :class:`~.ops.BSgate` * :class:`~.ops.MZgate` * :class:`~.ops.Interferometer` * :class:`~.ops.BipartiteGraphEmbed` * :class:`~.ops.MeasureFock` The operations above may be provided in any combination and order, provided that the unitary is identical between the modes :math:`(0, 1,\dots, N-1)`and :math:`(N, N+1, \dots, 2N-1)`, and does not mix between these two sets of modes. Finally, the circuit must complete with Fock measurements. **Example** The compiler may be used on its own: >>> prog.compile(compiler="Xcov") Alternatively, it can be combined with an X series device specification to include additional information, such as allowed parameter ranges. >>> eng = sf.RemoteEngine("X8") >>> spec = eng.device_spec >>> prog.compile(device=spec, compiler="Xcov") """ short_name = "Xcov" interactive = False primitives = { "S2gate", "Sgate", "MeasureFock", "Rgate", "BSgate", "MZgate", "Interferometer", } decompositions = { "BipartiteGraphEmbed": {"mesh": "rectangular_symmetric", "drop_identity": False}, }
