Supported Gates

Overview

This page lists the gate and operation methods available on QuantumRingsLib.QuantumCircuit for programmatic circuit construction.

For how to build and run circuits, see Circuits. For importing circuits from OpenQASM 2.0, see QASM Import & Execution.

This page does not describe backend-specific behavior. It is a reference list of operations exposed by QuantumCircuit.
