Qiskit Scheduling Extension Plugin

This repository contains an extension library of pass manager plugins that can be used in the scheduling stage of Qiskit transpiler.

Install and Use plugin

To use the scheduling extension plugin first install qiskit-scheduling-extension:

pip install qiskit-scheduling-extension

Once you have the plugin package installed you can use the plugin via the scheduling_method argument on Qiskit's transpile() function. For example, if you wanted to use the compact scheduling method to compile a 15 qubit quantum volume circuit for a backend you would do something like:

from qiskit import transpile
from qiskit.circuit.library import QuantumVolume
from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import FakePrague

qc = QuantumVolume(15)
qc.measure_all()
backend = FakePrague()

transpile(qc, backend, scheduling_method="compact")
