Add support for parametrized quantum circuits #9

This is achieved in cirq using sympy variables.

@johannesjmeyer can this be closed? If not, could you expand a bit?

johannesjmeyer commented 3 years ago

Did somebody add the functionality in the meantime? In the end this is about the possibility to have "parametrized quantum circuits" in Cirq where you use a sympy variable instead of a number for parameters that should speed up compilation and those things.

It hasn't been added no. I would argue that we should leave this one open, as:

It will significantly improve performance of the plugin
By having it open it increases visibility.

I might even add 'good first issue'
