qrisp.QuantumCircuit.to_qasm2#

QuantumCircuit.to_qasm2(formatted: bool = False, filename: str | None = None, encoding: str | None = None) → str[source]#

Returns the OpenQASM 2.0 string of this QuantumCircuit.

If the circuit contains gates that cannot be represented in OpenQASM 2.0, it is first transpiled to a universal set of primitive gates before exporting.

Parameters:

formattedbool, optional: Return formatted Qasm string. The default is False.
filenamestr, optional: If provided, the QASM string is also written to this file path. The default is None.
encodingstr, optional: The file encoding to use when writing to filename. Defaults to the system’s preferred encoding. Only relevant when filename is given.

Returns:

str: The OpenQASM 2.0 string.
