Open nonhermitian opened 2 months ago
The suggestion seems related to https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/issues/12192
We can certainly change the default here, but just to be really clear: neither OpenQASM 2 nor OpenQASM 3 will ever be lossless serialisation formats for Qiskit, and to large part, cannot be without severely limiting the Qiskit data model, or requiring us to make huge amount of fragile guesses on re-import. We'll interoperate with them, but export to OpenQASM 3 is very much an export, and there's all sorts of things we have to do to map Qiskit's data model to OpenQASM's and back again. For example, the request in #12014, if it were implemented, could not be roundtripped through OQ because it's a naming conflict.
(The point being: "should be able to [losslessly] roundtrip a circuit" is not something the OQ import/export will ever be able to fully achieve.)
But can we agree on register names not changing at least? Especially since retrieving results now requires knowing the names.
What is the python version and the operating system?

I am not sure about the reasons for Open QASM2 and OPEN QASM3 being lossless serialisation formats for qiskit It is difficult to losslessly roundtrip a circuit seems not necessarily plausible
Environment
What is happening?
[ClassicalRegister(1, 'measure')]
[ClassicalRegister(1, 'esc__measure')]
How can we reproduce the issue?
run above
What should happen?
should be able to round trip a circuit
Any suggestions?
Unify the register name of
measure_active
andmeasure_all
perhaps?
