Summary
Resolves #2171 by adding a check that a candidate swap is able to either map at least one gate or improve the score of the resulting layout before it is considered. A follow up PR is needed to generalize this approach. (Ideally, this should be incorporated into
_score_step
, and we should make sure this does not limit our ability to find a long-range improvement that requires first passing through short-term loss).Additionally, adds some debug level logging and removes duplicate edges for symmetric 2q gates from the list of available swaps.
