I am working to add a docstring to the quantum_addition.py file but it throws me some errors. Could you please show me a hint of how to do it? Also, I have no idea how to check the docstring if it is really working.
For example, here is a part of the code:
qc = QuantumCircuit(num_qubits * 2, num_qubits) # Here, a quantum circuit (qc) is created with twice the number
# of qubits as the sum, plus an additional num_qubits for the output.
# Encode the classical numbers into quantum states
for i in range(num_qubits):
if (num1 >> i) & 1:
qc.x(i) # Apply X gate for 1 bits in num1
if (num2 >> i) & 1:
qc.x(i + num_qubits) # Apply X gate for 1 bits in num2
# This loop encodes the binary representation of num1 and num2 into the quantum circuit
# by applying an X gate to each qubit where the corresponding bit is set to 1.
# Perform the addition by applying CNOT gates
for i in range(num_qubits - 1):
qc.ccx(i, i + num_qubits, i + num_qubits + 1)
qc.cx(i, i + num_qubits)
# Measure the result
qc.measure(range(num_qubits, num_qubits * 2), range(num_qubits))
#It measures the qubits in the output range and maps the
# measurement results back to classical bits.
# Simulate the circuit
simulator = Aer.get_backend('qasm_simulator')
compiled_circuit = transpile(qc, simulator)
job = execute(compiled_circuit, simulator, shots=shots) # Specify the number of shots
result = job.result()
# Get the measurement result
counts = result.get_counts(qc)
result_decimal = int(list(counts.keys())[0], 2)
#This code retrieves the measurement counts and converts
# the binary measurement result to a decimal integer.
return result_decimal, counts # Return both the result and the counts
Hi G1 team,

Any idea how to add docstring for QuantumCircuit?
