Description

For some benchmark algorithms, the following error happens.

qc_mapped, res = qmap.compile(qc, arch, method="exact")
File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mqt/qmap/compile.py", line 138, in compile
results = map(circ, architecture, config)
ValueError: Error during mapping: Circuit contains gates with more than one control. Please make sure that the input circuit's gates are decomposed to the appropriate gate set!

How to Reproduce

from mqt import qmap, bench
from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import FakeNairobi

arch = FakeNairobi()
qc = bench.get_benchmark(benchmark_name="qft", circuit_size=7, level="indep")

qc_mapped, res = qmap.compile(qc, arch, method="exact")

Hey 👋🏼

Thanks for submitting this bug report. The cause for the exception is the (currently) underlying assumption of QMAP that the input circuit only consists of arbitrary single-qubit gates and CNOT gates, i.e., that the only supported two-qubit gate is the CNOT.
While the code doesn't complain currently, when another controlled-rotation gate is used in the circuit (such as a cs gate), it does throw an exception if a two-target gate is encountered. This is precisely what happens above in case of the QFT circuit, which contains SWAP operations at the very end.

There is an ongoing development in #235 for supporting arbitrary two-qubit gates. Once that is in, this example should work out-of-the-box. So I'll close this issue once #235 is merged.

For the moment, a possible workaround is to explicitly decompose the input circuit to basis gates, e.g., via

from mqt import qmap, bench
from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import FakeNairobi
from qiskit import transpile

arch = FakeNairobi()
qc = bench.get_benchmark(benchmark_name="qft", circuit_size=7, level="indep")
qc_basis_gates = transpile(qc, basis_gates=arch.configuration().basis_gates)
qc_mapped, res = qmap.compile(qc_basis_gates, arch, method="exact")

Note, however, that decomposition will most likely introduce further CNOT gates and increase the depth of the circuit, which makes the subsequent mapping problem harder/more complex. As a result, this can only be considered a temporary workaround that does not reflect the real performance.
