qrisp.cnot_depth_indicator

cnot_depth_indicator(op)

This function returns the CNOT-depth of an Operation object.

In NISQ-era devices, CNOT gates are the restricting bottleneck for quantum circuit execution. This function can be used as a gate-speed specifier for the :meth:`compile <qrisp.QuantumSession.compile>`_ method.

Parameters

opOperation

The operation, whose CNOT-depth should be computed.

Returns

float

The CNOT-depth of the Operation.
