Basic Compilation¶

Rigetti’s native compiler quilc is a highly advanced and world class compiler. It has many features to optimize the performance of quantum algorithms.

In QCVV we need to be certain that the circuit we wish to run is the one that is run. For this reason we have built the module compilation. Its functionality is rudimentary but easy to understand.

basic_compile(program) A rudimentary but predictable compiler.

Helper Functions¶
