TODOs:

X Define size of the quantum and classical register

X Color output only

X Include generating runtime for cycle

X Quantum Volumes, Struct and Rand should pseudo randomize neighboring qubits [config option 'shuffle'?]

X Second layer in struct and rand algorithms should be two qubit gates only (to have some qubits coherence)

X Improve time estimates for Ibmq: time_per_step()

X Wrong index for Serial output with single orchestrator

X Skip zero values in output so fromSize is not written as 0

Skipped (Future work):

X NO: Allow to define custom layer size? (Nah, just write it in future work)

X NO: Extend with toffoli gate? (This is complex gate on a circuit)

X NO: Add option to increase mirror/cycle circuit size only by one with inverted result? (Only good for layers of size 1, but then it's just a plain Volume benchmark that is already implemented)

X NO: Add C API? (Is it needed? I don't think so)

X NO: Extend supported gates with custom defined and their inverse (Will not be base gate anymore, no point of doing that)

X NO: From Lang Schema allow to define custom registers (Extension)

X NO: Allow to ext define custom arguments? (Nah, just write it in future work)

Changes after image inserted:

X Quantum volume should can use only two qubit gates (Number is too low, so for the start single qubit gates could be better) https://medium.com/qiskit/what-is-quantum-volume-anyway-a4dff801c36f

X Add arg to say whether circuits should be mirrored or computed on a simulator X implement cycle benchmarking (inverse gate is inserted directly behind the correct gate, otherwise it is the same as mirror) X allow to define initial state (does not need to be all zeros) X Add dependencies to maturin X include python scripts as strings X rename mirror and rand mirror to structured and random generators X Add constraints X Add a workaround for odd circuit for mirror circuits X add from_size and from_size_2 options X Send arguments to custom python extimpls X Move extimpls to separate folder X Circuit generator should return only intermediate circuit format and then it should be serialized by lang_schema. X Serialize to python, allow to define python extensions X Can define custom requirements.txt X Extended with Python QcProvider X Add option to check for constraints X Send arguments X Test it
