class CompressedResourceOp:
    r"""Instantiate a light weight class corresponding to the operator type and parameters.

    This class provides a minimal representation of an operation, containing
    only the operator type and the necessary parameters to estimate its resources.
    It's designed for efficient hashing and comparison, allowing it to be used
    effectively in collections where uniqueness and quick lookups are important.

    Args:
        op_type (Type): the class object of an operation which inherits from :class:'~.pennylane.labs.resource_estimation.ResourceOperator'
        num_wires (int): The number of wires that the operation acts upon,
            excluding any auxiliary wires that are allocated on decomposition.
        params (dict): a dictionary containing the minimal pairs of parameter names and values
            required to compute the resources for the given operator
        name (str, optional): A custom name for the compressed operator. If not
            provided, a name will be generated using `op_type.tracking_name`
            with the given parameters.
