Using
self._rowandself._colattributes directly instead of properties in the internals of these classes provides a significant speedup, especially since these classes are heavily used. On an internal benchmark, this reduced the total time spent inGridQubit.__eq__from 20.8s down to 5.7s, a 3.6x speedup.There are other optimizations we might be able to make in the future, for example by "de-virtualizing" more methods to not rely on generic implementations in the base class, as we have already done for
GridQubit.__eq__itself, but for now this provides a welcome performance boost.
