get_qubit_indices() set[int][source]

Get the qubits the swap-phases instruction operates on, as integer indices.

get_qubits(indices: bool = True) set[Qubit | QubitPlaceholder | FormalArgument | int] | set[int][source]

Get the qubits the swap-phases instruction operates on.

Deprecated since version 4.0: The indices flag will be removed, use get_qubit_indices() instead.

out() str[source]

Return the instruction as a valid Quil string.

class pyquil.quilbase.UnaryClassicalInstruction(target: MemoryReference)[source]

Bases: UnaryLogic, AbstractInstruction

Base class for unary classical instructions.

Initialize a new unary classical instruction.

op: ClassVar[UnaryOperator]
out() str[source]

Return the instruction as a valid Quil string. Raises an error if the instruction contains placeholders.

property target: MemoryReference

The MemoryReference that the instruction operates on.

class pyquil.quilbase.Wait[source]

Bases: SimpleInstruction

The WAIT instruction.

instruction: ClassVar[Instruction] = Wait
