iqm.qiskit_iqm.iqm_move_layout.generate_initial_layout(backend: IQMBackendBase, circuit: QuantumCircuit, restrict_to_qubits: list[int] | list[str] | None = None) → Layout#

Generates an initial layout for the given circuit, when run against the given backend.

Parameters:

  • backend (IQMBackendBase) – IQM backend to run against.

  • circuit (QuantumCircuit) – Star architecture circuit for which a layout is to be generated.

  • restrict_to_qubits (list[int] | list[str] | None) – Optional list of qubits to restrict the layout to.

Returns:

Layout that maps the logical qubits of circuit to the physical qubits of backend so that all the gates in circuit are available on those loci.

Return type:

Layout
