The Ionizer

The Ionizer is a set of tools for transpiling and optimizing PennyLane circuits into native trapped-ion gates.

These documentation pages focus on usage of the transpilation tools. Technical details and intuition about trapped ion gates can be found in this PennyLane blog post about the Ionizer, and IonQ’s documentation page, Getting started with Native Gates.
