Typedef Documentation

QDMI_Job

typedef struct QDMI_Job_impl_d* QDMI_Job

Opaque type for a job.

A job is a handle to manage the job after it is submitted and to access the results.

This type is implemented by the device.

QDMI_Operation

typedef struct QDMI_Operation_impl_d* QDMI_Operation

Opaque type for an operation.

An operation represents a quantum operation that can be executed on a device.

This type is implemented by the device.

QDMI_Site

typedef struct QDMI_Site_impl_d* QDMI_Site

Opaque type for a site.

A site is a place that can potentially hold a qubit. In the case of superconducting qubits, sites can be used synonymously with qubits. In the case of neutral atoms, sites represent individual traps that can confine atoms. Those atoms are then used as qubits. To this end, sites are a generalization of qubits that denote locations where qubits can be placed on a device.

This type is implemented by the device.
