Added if instruction.operation.name == 'barrier': continue to skip over barrier operations during the idle wire detection process. |

It'd be nice to have an explicit test for this behavior, too. |

@raunakkumarsingh, thank you for this contribution. Do you plan to add a test and merge |

Actually, I believe this test does not actually check that the relevant bug is fixed.
The idle wire detection code only runs when partition_labels
is not provided (or is None
). In this case, the partition labels are determined automatically from the connectivity of the circuit. #594 improved on this code so that idle wires are removed from the circuit during separation, but the problem is that any qubit with a barrier (e.g., if a barrier is placed over all qubits, even the idle ones) will be falsely detected as an active qubit. Your change should indeed fix #621 but the test does not ensure that it is fixed. The test is actually almost testing the check desired in #626, but not quite.
Fixes #621
Check for Barriers:
Added if instruction.operation.name == 'barrier': continue to skip over barrier operations during the idle wire detection process.
Iterate Through Instructions:
For each instruction, if it is not a barrier, it iterates through the qubits involved in the instruction and removes those qubit indices from the idle_wires set.
Filter Qubit Subsets:
The qubit_subsets list is filtered to remove any subsets that consist of only one qubit, and that qubit is in the idle_wires set.
