Transpiling qiskit quantum circuits on IonQ Native Gates
I have a certain quantum circuit (qc) in qiskit. My goal is to see it transpiled in IonQ Native Gates, to see the qc that is effectively run on the hardware.
However, the Ionq basis gate set which I ...

What is the minimal set of gates to transpile any quantum circuit to minimal depth?
Suppose I am given a universal set of quantum gates $S_u$ (e.g. the single-qubit rotation gate $U$ and the controlled-not gate $CX$). This is known to be universal, so any quantum circuit can be ...

Is Qiskit transpile function (with basis_gates=['u', 'cx']) universal?
It's well known that the single-qubit rotation gate $U(\theta, \phi, \lambda)$ and the controlled-not gate $CX_{i,j}$ form one of the universal set of gates for quantum computation. So here's my ...

Qiskit Transpiler function - Why does Toffoli + Hadamard not work as a Basis Gate set?
It is a well established fact that Hadamard + Toffoli is a computationally universal gate set. Therefore I thought that the transpiler function in Qiskit would be able to decompose any valid quantum ...
