binary operations do not support types.bool #2020
Description
Informations
- Qiskit Aer version: 0.13.1
- Python version:
- Operating system:
What is the current behavior?
qr = QuantumRegister(1)
cr = ClassicalRegister(1)
qc = QuantumCircuit(qr, cr)
qc.measure(0, 0)
cond = expr.bit_and(cr[0], cr[0])
with qc.if_test(cond):
qc.x(0)
qc.measure(0, 0)
from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator
simulator = AerSimulator()
simulator.run(qc).result().get_counts()
binary operations should work for bool values. However, current Aer supports only uint values. The above code fails with the following exception:
File qiskit_aer/backends/aer_compiler.py:772, in _AssembleExprImpl.visit_binary(self, node)
771 def visit_binary(self, node, /):
--> 772 return AerBinaryExpr(
773 _assemble_binary_operator(node.op),
774 node.left.accept(self),
775 node.right.accept(self),
776 )
ValueError: bit operation allows only for uint expressions.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Run the above code.
What is the expected behavior?
no error.
Suggested solutions
Add support of bool type for binary operations.
