cirq.contrib.quirk.quirk_gate.QuirkOp

An operation as understood by Quirk's parser.

cirq.contrib.quirk.quirk_gate.QuirkOp(
    *keys, can_merge: bool = True
) -> None

Basically just a series of text identifiers for each qubit, and some rules for how things can be combined.

*keys The JSON object(s) that each qubit is turned into when explaining a gate to Quirk. For example, a CNOT is turned into the keys ["•", "X"].

Note that, when keys terminates early, it is implied that later qubits should use the same key as the last key.

can_merge Whether or not it is safe to merge a column containing this operation into a column containing other operations. For example, this is not safe if the column contains a control because the control would also apply to the other column's gates.
