qp.drawer.label

label(op, new_label)

Labels an operator with a custom label.

Warning

This function is not currently supported inside qjit()-compiled circuits.

Parameters:

• op (Operator) – The operator you wish to mark.

• new_label (str) – The label you wish to give to the operator.

Example:

>>> op = qp.X(0)
>>> labelled_op = qp.drawer.label(op, "my-x")
>>> print(labelled_op.custom_label)
my-x

The custom label will be displayed in the circuit diagram when using draw()

@qp.qnode(qp.device("default.qubit"))
def circuit():
    qp.drawer.label(qp.H(0), "my-h")
    qp.CNOT([0,1])
    return qp.probs()

>>> print(qp.draw(circuit)())
