qml.from_qasm

from_qasm(quantum_circuit)[source]

Loads quantum circuits from a QASM string using the converter in the PennyLane-Qiskit plugin.

Example:

>>> hadamard_qasm = 'OPENQASM 2.0;' \
...                 'include "qelib1.inc";' \
...                 'qreg q[1];' \
...                 'h q[0];'
>>> my_circuit = qml.from_qasm(hadamard_qasm)

The my_circuit template can now be used within QNodes, as a two-wire quantum template.

>>> @qml.qnode(dev)
>>> def circuit(x):
>>>     qml.RX(x, wires=1)
>>>     my_circuit(wires=(1, 0))
>>>     return qml.expval(qml.Z(0))
Parameters

quantum_circuit (str) – a QASM string containing a valid quantum circuit

Returns

the PennyLane template created based on the QASM string
