Description

After using qiskit.circuit.random.random_circuit for generating random qiskit circuits, if you try to transform those circuits to tket with pytket.extensions.qiskit.qiskit_to_tk, the process fails since there are some gates that are not recognised. The following is a list of the gates not recognised (beware that the list might not be complete):

qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.sx.CSXGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.z.CCZGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.rzx.RZXGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.xx_plus_yy.XXPlusYYGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.dcx.DCXGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.xx_minus_yy.XXMinusYYGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.s.CSdgGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.x.RCCXGate
qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.s.CSGate

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add the missing Qiskit gates (CSXGate, CCZGate, RZXGate, XXPlusYYGate, DCXGate, XXMinusYYGate, CSdgGate, RCCXGate, CSGate) to the known qiskit gates list in the appropriate file, typically in pytket qiskit/ gate translation.py. Verify that the transformation from Qiskit to tket works after adding them.
