As far as I know the basis gates for IBM and IonQ are:
IBM: ['cx', 'id', 'rz', 'x', 'sx']
IonQ: ['rx', 'ry', 'rz', 'rxx', 'id']
I used qiskit.transpile to see check how Controlled Ry gate can be decomposed into each basis gates, where the results are as below.
Circuit without transpile:
IBM basis gates transpile:
IonQ basis gates transpile:
As I know, one advantageous feature of IonQ is that it can construct CRx or CRz with only 1 entanglement gate. Does only CRy gate requires 2 entanglement gate or does the transpiled result is not fully optimized?
