Description
Implemented the
drop_diagonal_before_measurementtransformer as requested in #4935.This transformer identifies diagonal gates (Z, S, T, CZ, etc.) that are immediately followed by measurements. Since diagonal gates commute with the computational basis measurement, they can be removed without affecting the outcome probabilities.
Implementation Details:
eject_zfirst to push Z gates as far right as possible (handling the Z-CZ commutation case described in the issue).CZ(q0, q1)followed byMeasure(q0)is NOT removed (to preserveq1's phase).CZ(q0, q1)followed byMeasure(q0), Measure(q1)IS removed.Testing:
