Layers have a quite standard meaning, which doesn't reflect what the author is asking.

| Mar 4, 2023 at 19:32 | comment | added | Daniele Cuomo | "I would expect number of layers = 5 since I have 5 serial steps in the computation" the circuit doesn't tell you always the computational steps. I took the liberty to change the question without the use of the word layer. | |

| Mar 4, 2023 at 19:08 | comment | added | hft | I think I understand. You want a qiskit function, or some other function to return the number of layers specific to the qiskit drawing. Is that right? | |
| Mar 4, 2023 at 9:16 | comment | added | SimoneGasperini | If you prefer to call them "columns" instead of "layers" it's fine.. Of course, the number of columns depend on how you group together the different gates (in an arbitrary number of unitary transformations) but I just need the number of columns once the layout of the circuit is fixed | |
| Mar 4, 2023 at 3:22 | comment | added | hft | I know you said you want to be clear about what you mean by "layers," but I'm afraid it isn't really clear to me. I mean, the picture you drew is clear and has five "columns," but each of those represents a unitary transformation and any and all of them can be combined into one or more different unitary transformation. For example, you could just define a single unitary transformation for the whole circuit and make a circuit diagram with a single "layer" (a single column/box labelled "U")... | |
