Circuit Intermediate Representation (bqskit.ir)

The BQSKit Circuit structure is a 2-d array of operations. A circuit is indexed first by cycles and second by qudits. The cycle index determines when operations are executed, and the qudit index determines which qudits an operation operates on.

Every component of the IR is also a function from a vector of real numbers to a unitary matrix. This is to facilitate circuit instantiation, a core primitive in quantum synthesis.
