Classes

CastOperation [source]

class CastOperation(Operation)

Type cast operation for creating aliases over the same quantum resources.

This operation does NOT allocate new qubits. It creates a new Value that references the same underlying quantum resources with a different type.

Use cases:

operands: [source_value] - The value being cast results: [cast_result] - The new value with target type (same physical qubits)

Constructor

def __init__(
    self,
    operands: list[Value] = list(),
    results: list[Value] = list(),
    source_type: ValueType | None = None,
    target_type: ValueType | None = None,
    qubit_mapping: list[str] = list(),
) -> None

Attributes


CompositeGateOperation [source]

class CompositeGateOperation(Operation)

Represents a composite gate (QPE, QFT, etc.) as a single operation.

CompositeGate allows representing complex multi-gate operations as a single atomic operation in the IR. This enables:

The operands structure is:

The results structure:

Constructor

def __init__(
    self,
    operands: list[Value] = list(),
    results: list[Value] = list(),
    gate_type: CompositeGateType = CompositeGateType.CUSTOM,
    num_control_qubits: int = 0,
    num_target_qubits: int = 0,
    custom_name: str = '',
    resource_metadata: ResourceMetadata | None = None,
    has_implementation: bool = True,
    implementation_block: Block | None = None,
    composite_gate_instance: Any = None,
    strategy_name: str | None = None,
) -> None

Attributes


CompositeGateType [source]

class CompositeGateType(enum.Enum)

Registry of known composite gate types.

QKernel [source]

class QKernel(Generic[P, R])

Decorator class for Qamomile quantum kernels.

Methods

build
def build(self, parameters: list[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any = {}) -> Block

Build a traced Block by tracing this kernel.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
parameterslist[str] | NoneList of argument names to keep as unbound parameters. - None (default): Auto-detect parameters (non-Qubit args without value/default) - []: No parameters (all non-Qubit args must have value/default) - [“name”]: Explicit parameter list Only float, int, UInt, and their arrays are allowed as parameters.
**kwargsAnyConcrete values for non-parameter arguments.

Returns:

Block — The traced block ready for transpilation, estimation, or visualization.

Raises:

Example:

@qm.qkernel
def circuit(q: Qubit, theta: float) -> Qubit:
    q = qm.rx(q, theta)
    return q

# Auto-detect theta as parameter
block = circuit.build()

# Explicit parameter list
block = circuit.build(parameters=["theta"])

# theta bound to concrete value
block = circuit.build(theta=0.5)

# Transpile with binding
transpiler = QiskitTranspiler()
result = transpiler.emit(graph, binding={"theta": 0.5})
draw
def draw(
    self,
    inline: bool = False,
    fold_loops: bool = True,
    expand_composite: bool = False,
    inline_depth: int | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any = {},
) -> Any

Visualize the circuit using Matplotlib.

This method builds the computation graph and creates a static visualization. Parameters are auto-detected: non-Qubit arguments without concrete values are shown as symbolic parameters.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
inlineboolIf True, expand CallBlockOperation contents (inlining). If False (default), show CallBlockOperation as boxes.
fold_loopsboolIf True (default), display ForOperation as blocks instead of unrolling. If False, expand loops and show all iterations.
expand_compositeboolIf True, expand CompositeGateOperation (QFT, IQFT, etc.). If False (default), show as boxes. Independent of inline.
inline_depthint | NoneMaximum nesting depth for inline expansion. None means unlimited (default). 0 means no inlining, 1 means top-level only, etc. Only affects CallBlock/ControlledU, not CompositeGate.
**kwargsAnyConcrete values for arguments. Arguments not provided here (and without defaults) will be shown as symbolic parameters.

Returns:

Any — matplotlib.figure.Figure object.

Raises:

Example:

import qamomile.circuit as qm

@qm.qkernel
def inner(q: qm.Qubit) -> qm.Qubit:
    return qm.x(q)

@qm.qkernel
def circuit(q: qm.Qubit, theta: float) -> qm.Qubit:
    q = inner(q)
    q = qm.h(q)
    q = qm.rx(q, theta)
    return q

# Draw with auto-detected symbolic parameter (theta)
fig = circuit.draw()

# Draw with bound parameter
fig = circuit.draw(theta=0.5)

# Draw with blocks as boxes (default)
fig = circuit.draw()

# Draw with blocks expanded (inlined)
fig = circuit.draw(inline=True)

# Draw with loops folded (shown as blocks)
fig = circuit.draw(fold_loops=True)

# Draw with composite gates expanded
fig = circuit.draw(expand_composite=True)
estimate_resources
def estimate_resources(self, *, bindings: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> ResourceEstimate

Estimate all resources for this kernel’s circuit.

Convenience method that delegates to the module-level estimate_resources function, eliminating the need to access .block directly.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
bindingsdict[str, Any] | NoneOptional concrete parameter bindings (scalars and dicts). Dict values trigger |key| cardinality substitution.

Returns:

ResourceEstimate — ResourceEstimate with qubits, gates, and parameters.

Example:

>>> @qm.qkernel
... def bell() -> qm.Vector[qm.Qubit]:
...     q = qm.qubit_array(2)
...     q[0] = qm.h(q[0])
...     q[0], q[1] = qm.cx(q[0], q[1])
...     return q
>>> est = bell.estimate_resources()
>>> print(est.qubits)  # 2

ResourceMetadata [source]

class ResourceMetadata

Resource estimation metadata for composite gates.

Gate count fields mirror GateCount categories.

None semantics:

Fields left as None mean “unknown/unspecified”. During extraction, gate_counter treats None as 0, which may undercount resources if the true value is nonzero. To ensure accurate resource estimates, set all relevant fields explicitly.

When total_gates is set but some of single_qubit_gates, two_qubit_gates, or multi_qubit_gates are None, the extractor emits a UserWarning if the known sub-total is less than total_gates, indicating potentially missing gate category data.

Constructor

def __init__(
    self,
    query_complexity: int | None = None,
    t_gates: int | None = None,
    ancilla_qubits: int = 0,
    total_gates: int | None = None,
    single_qubit_gates: int | None = None,
    two_qubit_gates: int | None = None,
    multi_qubit_gates: int | None = None,
    clifford_gates: int | None = None,
    rotation_gates: int | None = None,
    custom_metadata: dict[str, Any] = dict(),
) -> None

Value [source]

class Value(_MetadataValueMixin, Generic[T])

A typed SSA value in the IR.

The name field is display-only: it labels the value for visualization and error messages and has no role in identity. Identity is carried by uuid (per-version) and logical_id (across versions).

An empty string (name="") is the anonymous marker used by auto-generated tmp values (arithmetic results, comparison results, coerced constants). Name-based readers must guard with truthiness (if value.name and value.name in bindings: ...) so anonymous values never collide on a shared empty key. User-supplied parameter names and array names continue to be non-empty.

Constructor

def __init__(
    self,
    type: T,
    name: str,
    version: int = 0,
    metadata: ValueMetadata = ValueMetadata(),
    uuid: str = (lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()))(),
    logical_id: str = (lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()))(),
    parent_array: ArrayValue | None = None,
    element_indices: tuple[Value, ...] = (),
) -> None

Attributes

Methods

is_array_element
def is_array_element(self) -> bool
next_version
def next_version(self) -> Value[T]

Create a new Value with incremented version and fresh UUID.

Metadata is intentionally preserved across versions so that parameter bindings and constant annotations remain accessible after the value is updated (e.g. by a gate application or a classical operation). The logical_id also stays the same: it identifies the same logical variable across SSA versions, independently of backend resource allocation. This applies to every Value regardless of its type (Qubit, Float, Bit, ...) -- it is not specific to qubits.
