is_gate(self: pytket._tket.circuit.Op) bool
property dagger

class pytket.circuit.BasisOrder

Enum for readout basis and ordering. Readouts are viewed in increasing lexicographic order (ILO) of the bit’s UnitID. This is our default convention for column indexing for ALL readout forms (shots, counts, statevector, and unitaries). e.g. |abc corresponds to the readout: (‘c’, 0) –> a, (‘c’, 1) –> b, (‘d’, 0) –> c For statevector and unitaries, the string abc is interpreted as an index in a big-endian (BE) fashion. e.g. the statevector (a00,a01,a10,a11) Some backends (Qiskit, ProjectQ, etc.) use a DLO-BE (decreasing lexicographic order, big-endian) convention. This is the same as ILO-LE (little-endian) for statevectors and unitaries, but gives shot tables/readouts in a counter-intuitive manner. Every backend and matrix-based box has a BasisOrder option which can toggle between ILO-BE (ilo) and DLO-BE (dlo).

ilo : Increasing Lexicographic Order of UnitID, big-endian
