<Function id="qiskit.synthesis.synth_clifford_bm" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.23/qiskit/synthesis/clifford/clifford_decompose_bm.py" signature="synth_clifford_bm(clifford)">
|
||
Optimal CX-cost decomposition of a Clifford operator on 2-qubits or 3-qubits into a QuantumCircuit based on Bravyi-Maslov method.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
**clifford** ([*Clifford*](qiskit.quantum_info.Clifford "qiskit.quantum_info.Clifford")) – a clifford operator.
|
||
|
||
**Returns**
|
||
|
||
a circuit implementation of the Clifford.
|
||
|
||
**Return type**
|
||
|
||
[QuantumCircuit](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit")
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
**QiskitError** – if clifford is on more than 3 qubits.
