Circuit Editor Experience

[ScottCarda-MS]

This is the tracking issue for features related to the circuit editor experience. The current MVP is to give users the ability to create and edit circuit diagrams alongside Q# code and have these be interoperable in Q# projects.

MVP Tasks

• Clean up prototype code. (week)
  • Remove extra "edit" state which is getting in the way.
• Edit Mode vs. Readonly Mode (week)
• Add/Remove qubit lines (week)
• Add new circuit files (maybe a week given current design)
• Iterate on circuit representation format (large item, needs more design)
  • format should include columns
  • operations need to have a canonical order
• Implement cleaner UI (large item, needs more design and input from team)
  • Bill's smoother UI for drag-n-drop
  • nicer toolbelt

Advanced Features

• Change measurement output representation
• Conditional Branching
• Sub-operations
• Loops
• Qubit alloc/dealloc
• Circuit Visual Pivot
• Embed Q# code in circuits
• Jupyter Notebook experience
• Trace Circuit vs. Logical Circuit
• Circuit Gen from QIR
