Summary
Fixes a bug causing the qasm3 exporter to crash on circuits containing a unitary gate.
Fixes #13362.
Details and comments
The bug results from the
params
field of the unitaryoperation
being handled incorrectly, due to it being a somewhat nonstandard field (as opposed to theparams
field ofu
gate, for instance, which is used differently).This problem was already handled in the
qasm2
exporter by a call to_qasm2_decomposition
in the operation, if present. This PR integrates the same solution in the qasm3 exporter, renaming the method to_qasm_decomposition
.This is an automatic backport of pull request #13633 done by [Mergify](https://mergify.com).
