# Barrier
|
||
|
||
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.Barrier" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.24/qiskit/circuit/barrier.py" signature="Barrier(num_qubits, label=None)" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: [`Instruction`](qiskit.circuit.Instruction "qiskit.circuit.instruction.Instruction")
|
||
|
||
Barrier instruction.
|
||
|
||
A barrier is a visual indicator of the grouping of a circuit section. It also acts as a directive for circuit compilation to separate pieces of a circuit so that any optimizations or re-writes are constrained to only act between barriers.
|
||
|
||
Create new barrier instruction.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **num\_qubits** (*int*) – the number of qubits for the barrier type \[Default: 0].
|
||
* **label** (*str*) – the barrier label
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
**TypeError** – if barrier label is invalid.
|
||
|
||
