Adds back the
bitsizefield to Cirq-FT registers. This brings the Cirq-FT registers another step closer to Qualtran registers and makes the interop easier.This PR follows a brute force approach where the special meaning of
bitsizeis lost. In general, a qubit register withbitsize=Kshould behave like a2 ** Kdimension Qudit, instead of a K-qubit register. However, Cirq currently does not provide any way to express decomposition of gates acting on qudits in terms of other "simpler" gates that act on individual qubits. In Qualtran, this is expressed usingSplitandJoinoperations, but Cirq does not have an analogous concept.In future, we can consider extending the Cirq infrastructure to support gates acting on Qudits with decompositions that manipulate the 2 dimensional subspaces corresponding to individual qubits that can be used to make up the qudit register. But it's out of scope for this PR.
