Summary
This PR proposes the use of an
IndexMap
in the Rust implementation ofUnitarySynthesis
to allow for a more deterministic output of the pass, and to ensure that the Python and Rust codes produce the same outputs when facing the same inputs. While this is not a guarantee we make, I believe it is good to have, makes testing much easier, and will smoothen the path for the transition to always using the target as a transpilation constraint "vehicle" (this PR fixes an issue found in a test in #12850).Details and comments
