<Function id="qiskit.synthesis.synth_clifford_depth_lnn" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.24/qiskit/synthesis/clifford/clifford_decompose_layers.py" signature="synth_clifford_depth_lnn(cliff)">
|
||
Synthesis of a Clifford into layers for linear-nearest neighbour connectivity.
|
||
|
||
The depth of the synthesized n-qubit circuit is bounded by 9\*n+4, which is not optimal. It should be replaced by a better algorithm that provides depth bounded by 7\*n-4 \[3].
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
**cliff** ([*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")
