For example, it allows designers to insert classical logic (defined at a high abstraction level, e.g., a Python function) directly into quantum circuits. We describe its design principles, concrete implementation, and, in particular, the library's core: An intuitive and flexible intermediate representation (IR) that supports different abstraction levels across the same circuit structure.Automation & Control SystemsComputer Science, Hardware & ArchitectureComputer Science, Software EngineeringEngineering, IndustrialEngineering, Electrical & ElectronicAutomation & Control SystemsComputer ScienceEngineeringquantumdesign automationcompilationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
