Description
Required prerequisites
- Search the issue tracker to check if your feature has already been mentioned or rejected in other issues.
Describe the feature
Currently, the tracer does not capture qubit allocation nor qubit reset. Hence, the number of qubits on a circuit must be inferred by those explicitly used in operations that are captured. (This is a nice feature, but it should be combined with the knowledge of the total number of qubits requested by the user)
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Locate the tracer implementation and the existing handling for captured quantum operations. Add coverage for qubit allocation and reset so the circuit records both explicitly used operations and the total number of qubits requested by the user; verify the resulting circuit metadata with the relevant tracer tests.
