@jecado the initialize method can be decomposed, although it is a non-unitary Instruction since it contains resets at the beginning, but these can be removed when sending the circuit to a real device since anyways the initial state of the hardware is the ground state. But yes, there are definitely more efficient methods depending on the exact algorithm they are developing.

Beware that the initialize method probably simply initializes the simulator with the statevector you give it. I doubt it implements the requisite circuit at all, and you shouldn't rely upon it when developing an algorithm for use in quantum hardware.
