Note: The circuit image visualizations require ImageMagick for display.
ImageMagick can be easily installed with the command conda install imagemagick if you have conda installed.
Otherwise, please follow the installation instructions on the ImageMagick documentation.

The example above show how to generate matrice representations of the gates implemented in QuTiP, in their minimal qubit requirements. If the same gates is to be represented in a qubit register of size $N$, the optional keywork argument N can be specified when calling the gate function. For example, to generate the matrix for the CNOT gate for a $N=3$ bit register:
In [41]:
cnot(N=3)
Out[41]:
In [39]:
q = QubitCircuit(3, reverse_states=False)
q.add_gate("CNOT", controls=[1], targets=[2])
q.png
Out[39]:
Furthermore, the control and target qubits (when applicable) can also be similarly specified using keyword arguments control and target (or in some cases controls or targets):
In [43]:
cnot(N=3, control=2, target=0)
Out[43]:
In [40]:
q = QubitCircuit(3, reverse_states=False)
q.add_gate("CNOT", controls=[0], targets=[2])
q.png
Out[40]:
The gates implemented in QuTiP can be used to build any qubit circuit using the class QubitCircuit. The output can be obtained in the form of a unitary matrix or a latex representation.
In the following example, we take a SWAP gate. It is known that a swap gate is equivalent to three CNOT gates applied in the given format.
In [41]:
N = 2
qc0 = QubitCircuit(N)
qc0.add_gate("SWAP", [0, 1], None)

Out[41]:
In [42]:
U_list0 = qc0.propagators()
U0 = gate_sequence_product(U_list0)
U0
Out[42]:
In [43]:
qc1 = QubitCircuit(N)
qc1.add_gate("CNOT", 0, 1)
qc1.add_gate("CNOT", 1, 0)
qc1.add_gate("CNOT", 0, 1)
qc1.png
Out[43]:
In [44]:
U_list1 = qc1.propagators()
U1 = gate_sequence_product(U_list1)
U1
Out[44]:
In place of manually converting the SWAP gate to CNOTs, it can be automatically converted using an inbuilt function in QubitCircuit
In [45]:

qc3 = QubitCircuit(3)
qc3.add_gate("CNOT", 1, 0)
qc3.add_gate("RX", 0, None, pi/2, r"\pi/2")
qc3.add_gate("RY", 1, None, pi/2, r"\pi/2")
qc3.add_gate("RZ", 2, None, pi/2, r"\pi/2")
qc3.add_gate("ISWAP", [1, 2])

Interactions between non-adjacent qubits can be resolved by QubitCircuit to a series of adjacent interactions, which is useful for systems such as spin chain models.
