[docs]@transform def pattern_matching_optimization( tape: QuantumTape, pattern_tapes, custom_quantum_cost=None ) -> (Sequence[QuantumTape], Callable): r"""Quantum function transform to optimize a circuit given a list of patterns (templates). Args: tape (QNode or QuantumTape or Callable): A quantum circuit to be optimized. pattern_tapes(list(.QuantumTape)): List of quantum tapes that implement the identity. custom_quantum_cost (dict): Optional, quantum cost that overrides the default cost dictionary. Returns: qnode (QNode) or quantum function (Callable) or tuple[List[QuantumTape], function]: The transformed circuit as described in :func:`qml.transform <pennylane.transform>`. Raises: QuantumFunctionError: The pattern provided is not a valid QuantumTape or the pattern contains measurements or the pattern does not implement identity or the circuit has less qubits than the pattern. **Example** >>> dev = qml.device('default.qubit', wires=5) You can apply the transform directly on a :class:`QNode`. For that, you need first to define a pattern that is to be found in the circuit. We use the following pattern that implements the identity: .. code-block:: python ops = [qml.S(0), qml.S(0), qml.Z(0)] pattern = qml.tape.QuantumTape(ops) Let's consider the following circuit where we want to replace a sequence of two ``pennylane.S`` gates with a ``pennylane.PauliZ`` gate. .. code-block:: python @partial(pattern_matching_optimization, pattern_tapes = [pattern]) @qml.qnode(device=dev) def circuit(): qml.S(wires=0) qml.Z(0) qml.S(wires=1) qml.CZ(wires=[0, 1]) qml.S(wires=1) qml.S(wires=2) qml.CZ(wires=[1, 2]) qml.S(wires=2) return qml.expval(qml.X(0)) During the call of the circuit, it is first optimized (if possible) and then executed. >>> circuit() .. details:: :title: Usage Details .. code-block:: python def circuit(): qml.S(wires=0) qml.Z(0) qml.S(wires=1) qml.CZ(wires=[0, 1]) qml.S(wires=1) qml.S(wires=2) qml.CZ(wires=[1, 2]) qml.S(wires=2) return qml.expval(qml.X(0)) For optimizing the circuit given the following template of CNOTs we apply the ``pattern_matching`` transform. >>> qnode = qml.QNode(circuit, dev) >>> optimized_qfunc = pattern_matching_optimization(pattern_tapes=[pattern])(circuit) >>> optimized_qnode = qml.QNode(optimized_qfunc, dev) >>> print(qml.draw(qnode)()) 0: ──S──Z─╭●──────────┤ <X> 1: ──S────╰Z──S─╭●────┤ 2: ──S──────────╰Z──S─┤ >>> print(qml.draw(optimized_qnode)()) 0: ──S†─╭●────┤ <X> 1: ──Z──╰Z─╭●─┤ 2: ──Z─────╰Z─┤ Note that with this pattern we also replace a ``pennylane.S``, ``pennylane.PauliZ`` sequence by ``Adjoint(S)``. If one would like avoiding this, it possible to give a custom quantum cost dictionary with a negative cost for ``pennylane.PauliZ``. >>> my_cost = {"PauliZ": -1 , "S": 1, "Adjoint(S)": 1} >>> optimized_qfunc = pattern_matching_optimization(circuit, pattern_tapes=[pattern], custom_quantum_cost=my_cost) >>> optimized_qnode = qml.QNode(optimized_qfunc, dev) >>> print(qml.draw(optimized_qnode)()) 0: ──S──Z─╭●────┤ <X> 1: ──Z────╰Z─╭●─┤ 2: ──Z───────╰Z─┤ Now we can consider a more complicated example with the following quantum circuit to be optimized .. code-block:: python def circuit(): qml.Toffoli(wires=[3, 4, 0]) qml.CNOT(wires=[1, 4]) qml.CNOT(wires=[2, 1]) qml.Hadamard(wires=3) qml.Z(1) qml.CNOT(wires=[2, 3]) qml.Toffoli(wires=[2, 3, 0]) qml.CNOT(wires=[1, 4]) return qml.expval(qml.X(0)) We define a pattern that implement the identity: .. code-block:: python ops = [ qml.CNOT(wires=[1, 2]), qml.CNOT(wires=[0, 1]), qml.CNOT(wires=[1, 2]), qml.CNOT(wires=[0, 1]), qml.CNOT(wires=[0, 2]), ] tape = qml.tape.QuantumTape(ops) For optimizing the circuit given the given following pattern of CNOTs we apply the `pattern_matching` transform. >>> dev = qml.device('default.qubit', wires=5) >>> qnode = qml.QNode(circuit, dev) >>> optimized_qfunc = pattern_matching_optimization(circuit, pattern_tapes=[pattern]) >>> optimized_qnode = qml.QNode(optimized_qfunc, dev) In our case, it is possible to find three CNOTs and replace this pattern with only two CNOTs and therefore optimizing the circuit. The number of CNOTs in the circuit is reduced by one. >>> qml.specs(qnode)()["resources"].gate_types["CNOT"] 4 >>> qml.specs(optimized_qnode)()["resources"].gate_types["CNOT"] 3 >>> print(qml.draw(qnode)()) 0: ─╭X──────────╭X────┤ <X> 1: ─│──╭●─╭X──Z─│──╭●─┤ 2: ─│──│──╰●─╭●─├●─│──┤ 3: ─├●─│───H─╰X─╰●─│──┤ 4: ─╰●─╰X──────────╰X─┤ >>> print(qml.draw(optimized_qnode)()) 0: ─╭X──────────╭X─┤ <X> 1: ─│─────╭X──Z─│──┤ 2: ─│──╭●─╰●─╭●─├●─┤ 3: ─├●─│───H─╰X─╰●─┤ 4: ─╰●─╰X──────────┤ .. seealso:: :func:`~.pattern_matching` **References** [1] Iten, R., Moyard, R., Metger, T., Sutter, D. and Woerner, S., 2022.
